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.

Is it contract to hire or only contract ? What role in MS ? Do remember that in MS contract employees can be removed anytime. If the company decides to lay off for cost cutting, contract employees are affected before FTEs. Learning, Culture and office facilities are top notch. Only job security is a concern I would say.

Thanks for the reply! Really appreciate your help.
Actually, It's a contract to hire role and role is for Data Engineer. In the JD they mentioned like its a long term project (> 1 years). But I think that just on paper. And yes, I am sure that there will be plenty of learning opportunity. Thats the only reason I am more inclined towards selecting Microsoft offer. But for me the biggest concern is job security. I don't want to be under constant fear of losing job at any moment. Also, I m not sure if most of the organisation consider candidates who have contract experience in their past. So, future opportunities are also a concern.

Contract hires are not recommended , no job security
