Need Urgent Advice: Joining MICROSOFT as a Vendor on Third-Party Payroll
Hi All,
Please help me choose a better option
- MICROSOFT (Through third-party payroll) - 15 LPA - Contract is for long term period
- Impetus - 11.5 LPA
- Deloitte - 12 LPA
YOE - 4.5 CCTC - 7.2 LPA
Is it safe to join MICROSOFT through third-party or should I go with other option. I have 45 days left at my current organisation. Will there be any challenge while switching in the near future if I go with Microsoft.
Note: This will be my 2nd switch. And in my 4.5 years I have worked as a FTE.

If you are hired as a vendor and your performance is good, they usually open up a position for the candidate because they would not want to lose a good resource. But, yea it also depends on need of the headcount in that team. I've also seen that as a vendor you can reach out internally to other teams internally (IJP) if your team doesn't have the opening/unable to adjust a headcount.

Thanks for the reply! It really helped.

Brand value of Microsoft will help big time

Thanks for the reply!
Will there be any challenge while switching in the near future if I go with Microsoft. I have gone through few similiar posts and few of them mentioned that HR usually ignore the candidates who have contract experience in their last/past organisation.

Honestly, I have no idea about the same, but I believe in skills > experience,
With good skills you can clear an interview
With Microsoft name your resume will get shortlisted
Dont mention the contract thing on your resume, once you cleared the interview you've already shown you're capable.
This keeping in mind you are directly in a contract with Microsoft
