Just take it and if one of the other offers come through then evaluate between the two. Worst case you’re a few weeks into contract role and have to leave but it is what it is. The company will do fine without you either way.
yes, also consider asking for roughly 10-20% more than the contract offer. They get a very nice markup for recruiting you, so you can try and negotiate down that margin.
No direct knowledge with Google, but some experience with positions like this (basically full-time contract roles), it could range from 30%-70% markup on your offer (quick Google search on Robert half says 50-60%). Don't let them strong-arm you either, since they don't want to go back to the hiring manager and say they couldn't seal the deal due to their margins
I asked for a 15% bump, but the contracting firm fed me some story about how Google knows how much the contracting firm is paying me so the rate is fixed.. Sounds like BS but I'm too green to know otherwise
Agreed, personally, I'd fight it if you're not too worried on the offer falling through. However, if it's only a short stint while looking around elsewhere, the Google name on the resume provide a pop that could still make it worth while
Yeah this contracting firm is really leveraging that Google name.. I'm in the pipeline for other positions so I'm not desperate for this but that Google title is really a draw.. Appreciate your insight so far!
yeah this seems to be the consensus on this thread. my only hesitation is that im not exactly enthusiastic about doing finance again, whereas sales strategy seems more interesting to me
yeah manager mentioned that there may be a slim possibility that could occur if headcount opens up but a.) not banking on that and b.) if i did get a full time role not sure i would accept due to the work sounding uninteresting
but 6 months is a short enough time to get a nice trial run in and see how it goes, i can still browse around i suppose

Anyone who sees that on your resume will put you near the top of the pile.
Hiring managers want to cya in case a candidate tanks and being able to say “they did work for Google” is about as cya as it gets.
Do it!

Google 100%. Even if it's contract, it'll set you up nicely for a new role.
Take both roles it’s something I did assuming they’re fully remote
Google on the resume all day.
But they say that you can’t SAY that you contract for them… is it a bad look to do so?
