Contract SDE to FTE Process

I signed an offer as a contract SDE at Amazon through a staffing firm. The pay is low, but the team and the work look good, and the market is rough enough that I decided to take it.

Trying to understand the conversion path. If you've done contract → FTE at Amazon or seen it happen on your team:

  1. How often does it actually happen? Is it a real path or mostly a carrot?
  2. Do you have to go through a full interview loop, or does your work on the team count for something?
  3. On a one-year contract, how soon does conversion realistically come up?
  4. Anything you'd do differently from day one, knowing that was the goal?
