Third party payroll at FAANG?

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?

CW role at Meta can have its own curveballs in particular given the current climate. If you don’t have any plans of staying back beyond an year then yes go for it.

Yes, I plan to do an MBA after an year so I won't find if contract isn't renewed etc

I'd say it could be better to transition from InMobi to a company between it and FAANGs in brand value.

Something like Flipkart, Walmart, PhonePe. They're bigger brands than InMobi and would be a good addition to your CV. You can then transition to FAANG roles.

I see the following cons with this move?:

  • You'll miss out on benefits like stock, good internal opportunities, good insurance etc.
  • If you become a contractor there's some risk in you being seen as a contractor even for your next transition imo.
  • It's super easy for them to lay you off and chances of a layoff are high too.

I do not work for inmobi, probably got selected while signing up. I worked for an MNC (market leader but not well known) . I already have 2 yr experience & plan to do MBA after an year. Meta might help me after MBA. What do you think ?

Check market conditions before making a headway to FAANG. Choppy waters currently. Don't jump out without a life boat ⛵
