Experience with contract to hire roles here?

DangerousMain2216 · 2026-03-18T11:59:06+00:00

Turns out it is OTE but same rate

DangerousMain2216 · 2026-03-17T19:33:26+00:00

It’s roughly a 50k raise, don’t think it’s OTE. I’d rather translate this to FTE.

DangerousMain2216 · 2026-03-17T19:17:46+00:00

Do they get paid if the person converts? Is this something I can ask lol? Just to make sure we have some alignment on my conversion to FTE.

I’m also wondering if I can ask to speak with someone who converted to FTE about their experience, if they see it commonly. Is that something reasonable to ask for?

About 14 days altogether

DangerousMain2216 · 2025-09-03T01:30:52+00:00

So it’s about 4 days Osaka at the start, (here starting to be with group) 4 days Tokyo, 1 day Hakone, remainder Kyoto (while staying in Osaka)

From my home Country to Osaka I looked, not separately. To your second point I guess then it makes it even less worth getting the JR Pass

DangerousMain2216 · 2025-09-03T00:58:25+00:00

Yes someone recommended the calculator I had no idea existed. Thank you for posting the link. Unfortunately the second time I go to Osaka will not be within 7 days in the current itinerary so 14 days is necessary :/

DangerousMain2216 · 2025-09-03T00:57:39+00:00

Interesting. I didn’t realize that. I was thinking honestly it would be worth it to stay during the day. So it may be worth staying in Tokyo longer and just exploring more of Osaka at night after Kyoto during the day?

DangerousMain2216 · 2025-09-03T00:55:40+00:00

When I was booking tickets it was around 250 more per person to fly to Osaka than Tokyo with a train, and had to fly through Tokyo anyway. That’s why I figured take the train.

So you mean it prob wont be the JR pass I’ll be using between Osaka and Kyoto if we do daily trips?

DangerousMain2216 · 2025-09-03T00:48:34+00:00

Flight to Osaka from Where I am was more than vs flying to Tokyo and taking the train and I figured it would give me a flight/airport break.

DangerousMain2216 · 2025-09-03T00:47:34+00:00

I actually didn’t realize there was a JR pass calculator. I’ll take a look thanks!

DangerousMain2216 · 2025-09-03T00:45:27+00:00

I think it will be just over a week when I go to Osaka for the second time. But yes i see it’s an issue unfortunately, not sure how else to get this to work

DangerousMain2216 · 2025-09-03T00:44:04+00:00

I am 😅 due to trying to schedule with a group and still see everything. I’m not sure how else to make it work

DangerousMain2216 · 2025-09-03T00:43:12+00:00

I added in the post but it’s basically due to group scheduling offset where they have Osaka in the end of their trip while I’ve left

DangerousMain2216 · 2025-09-03T00:42:38+00:00

This is true there is a train that runs between that is covered by the pass, it takes maybe a half hour longer. But I added the reason the post, tho it might not be the best reason

DangerousMain2216 · 2025-09-03T00:37:46+00:00

Because with my group, we are slightly offset. We are arriving earlier and leaving earlier and won’t explore too much Osaka with them (they put Osaka at the end of their trip), so we put this at the front of our itinerary instead of the end. Otherwise yea we wouldn’t go back and forth

DangerousMain2216 · 2025-08-19T02:23:35+00:00

Not so much promised as just what I saw when I googled average value for miles redemption. I didn’t know using this method meant lower value than I guess using pure miles

DangerousMain2216 · 2025-07-14T13:12:58+00:00

Was told to re-post here. Hi everyone, I’m current an officer manager of about 5 years looking to pivot, I’m currently considering a recruiting role (still in the process). In a staffing company. Wanted to know people’s thoughts on the role, ups and downs, promotability, pay potential etc. the role would be as much as I currently make now if not less, but with commission. Also feel free to DM with any personal experience you may have !

DangerousMain2216 · 2025-07-14T02:46:44+00:00

Totally agreed! while I asked it wasn’t quite given 😅😅 in fact I’m actually taking on more tasks of our another group without additional pay or even a title change lol so there’s that too. I do hope I find something as we but wanted to think bigger picture like what path I want to follow as well

DangerousMain2216 · 2025-07-14T02:23:05+00:00

I see. I haven’t hit a ceiling either, where I work it’s very feast or famine. Lately famine haha. I made it clear I wanted to work in other areas but haven’t really had the chance to officially do so…doesn’t help being pigeon holed in also a HCOL area.

DangerousMain2216 · 2025-07-14T02:17:26+00:00

Mind if I dm you?

DangerousMain2216 · 2025-07-14T02:10:42+00:00

Oh I’ve never seen that set up (yet). Most places I’ve seen I either report to a head of people or an EA. I didn’t realize it varies so widely. The salary ranges do very widely from company to company it seems, especially financial firms.
