re: How much should I request when moving from contractor to full-time employee?

we are in process of hiring a contractor, and the markup the firm charges is close to 45%. Just an FYI.

Companies will often pay more for a contractor so they can cut at will, decrease hours, not worry about benefits, etc.

But since they are subbing, its unlikely they know how much the mark up is. I would ask for 10-15% more, see what you get. They already like you.....enough to hire you, see if you can turn that into a job.

Don't be afraid to ask for more money, assuming you offer value.
