Are contract based jobs a safe bet?

I got an offer from a big international bank in Mumbai. The project is in data analysis/engineering, which is something I have not worked in earlier. Another caveat is that I will be on a staffing company’s payroll and not on the bank’s. I am apprehensive about the 3rd party payroll thing. Is that something to worry about?

I am currently working in a service based company, but I directly work with the client team. Is it advisable for me to ask them to employ me directly? Is it something they can do

I recently received an offer from a early stage startup. But they told that that pay in contractual basis. when asked about the reason they told that it helps the company and employees to save tax. How does it work? will it affect my future employment if I take this job? like if I join some other company will they accept that I was actually working fulltime. The role is fulltime, but only the money transaction will happen as contractual.

I have offer from FAANG via 3rd party payroll company. The offer is a good increase & the contract is of one year. I already have experience of 2yr and FAANG might help me in the resume. I am from analytics field. Is it worth it?

I’m not talking about companies like Meta, Google or companies that have their branch offices in India. Even Turing has registered India entity to pay employee salaries. For example, take Miro. They have offices in Amsterdam but they don’t have a registered entity/office in India. Can companies like those hire Indian workers and make them work remotely from India? If yes, how would they pay salary? They won’t have official payroll here and without a registered entity they can’t pay PF. How does this salary thing works in this case? And do we have to pay taxes for both the countries? Reason for asking: I was watching “Silicon Valley” and there was an episode where Pied Pieper hires 3 engineers from India, Pak and Europe without having any official offices in those country. How would they pay their salaries? Also, read somewhere on Medium that few people are working this way and getting paid $ equivalent of their salaries. If anyone knows anything about this kindly share info on comments.

Hey all, I am currently interviewing at a big bank in Dubai(on site)for frontend role but haven’t had any technical rounds with live coding or hard questions on js/react. They will pay me good money. Good means double of what I will get in India and zero tax. The only good thing is salary as of now. Should I take this opportunity seriously? Any advice? About me : Frontend developer with 4 years of experience and about to get laid off this week. Thanks
