Vantaggi
So I got an urgent call from them "interview today" for a big corporation. Apparently somebody dropped off. I want to go to that corporate client, so I agreed for the rate which was a match to my current salary. Next day, they call me and say that clients wants me, but.. could you go $15/hr down, or no deal. When I told them, that we pre-agreed (in email) for higher rate, they blame client. Also they claimed it to be "contract to hire", and used phrase "you should put foot into the door". I negotiated a bit more, so went $10 down. After that.. normal work, only they didn't convert anybody. Was bunch of contractors, nobody where converted after 6 month for that client. Client's manager said to me "I was not aware about this contract2hire deal" and "we convert only in exceptional cases". :(
