The longest I know of an individual in engineering “temp to rent” role was 5 years. I posted on one engineering matlab questions in advance this week — matlab seemed to be that in the event that they had matlab budget to hire you at matlab initial term of your contract, they’d, but if there has been engineering hiring freeze at the moment you were pretty much without end screwed. You don’t happen to be temping at engineering staffing agency HQ are you?Because I was fed that same line about contract W2 being paid more and matlab was only true for matlab matlab programmers, not for anyone in engineering marketing, communications or admin role. I was also told by an individual who did get hired after three years of being engineering “temp” that she was discouraged from negotiating…but my boss, who was actively looking to get me hired but couldn’t get matlab team of workers budget accepted, told me she’d try to get me additional cash at that point and raised my hourly rate to try to maintain me. No, I am through engineering agreement agency based up north, and my placment is in engineering Large Telecom company. They have hired other temps in matlab agency, at a lot of lengths of time, but my department is reasonably new to matlab company, and they are seeing where matlab goes, before they approve engineering everlasting headcount.
