What’s the best way to negotiate more money during a contract to FTE conversion? My manager and I had the conversion convo today and he said he’d like to convert me immediately and took the action item to do so. In terms of comp he said they should already have what I’m expecting but I don’t think I communicated any FTE number to my contracting company. In this job market with all the layoffs, should I count my blessings and take what I can get or is there wiggle room.
YOE: 10

Negotiation 101:
they will always offer you the lowest compensation package first. you always counter with higher.

But the real question: why are you asking other freelancers about advice on how to convert to FT? *scratches head*

Freelancers don’t convert. We’re self employed.

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….

I don’t want to bore you with billing ?s and the usual inquiries from people who are thinking about making the switch but curious to know if any of you regret it and why.

I have a great loyal local client who has me on retainer. But with the covid pandemic, they have come on hard times and are about to be two months behind on payment. They keep sending me work and I want to support them pushing through this. I have considered offering product trade out instead of payment but am hesitant cuz I’d rather have them pay me once they’re on their feet. I also don’t want to keep working for free. Any advice?
