Hi
I am looking for opportunities in IT career and have an experience of more then 2 years , I get offers for working in contract basis.I have some questions regarding it.

1 . If I am working for the company directly how will my experience show in the experience letter?

2.If I join a company for contract basis through a consultancy when I am a permanent employee of the consultancy as well the payroll is with the consultancy . Will I get the experience letter from the company or the consultancy will give the letter?

3. What is pay scale or the expected Salary that we can demand from them?

I would be grateful of anybody can answer the above questions.

Notes for and others considering contract roles at CMM Level‑5 firms: contract arrangements are normal, but the career impact and pay depend entirely on what is written into the assignment and payroll documents. Below are concrete items to confirm, how to preserve experience for future employers, and practical negotiation points.

Get these items in writing before accepting:

  • the payroll employer (who issues pay slips and tax documents) and the name that will appear on any experience/relieving letter
  • exact role/title, client name (if allowed), start/end dates or notice rules, and the project or deliverable scope
  • pay breakdown (gross, reimbursements, taxes), billing frequency, bench/guaranteed minimum hours (if hourly), and reimbursement policy for travel or site costs
  • clauses on conversion to permanent (timeline, conversion bonus if any), IP/NDAs, and whether statutory benefits (PF/insurance) are provided
  • an explicit statement about who will issue an experience/assignment certificate at the end of engagement.

How to record and present the experience:

  • keep pay slips, appointment/contract letters, client assignment certificates, signed timesheets, and any client emails that confirm role or deliverables
  • on the CV list the payroll company first, then in parentheses show the client and “contract assignment” (e.g. PayrollCo — contract at ClientX; Role; dates) and include 2–3 achievement bullets with technologies and measurable results.

Setting salary expectations and negotiating:

  • convert current CTC into a monthly take‑home, add the monetary value of lost benefits (PF, bonus, health cover, paid leave) and include a risk premium for shorter tenure/bench time — negotiate on total take‑home or hourly rate, not just basic.
  • ask for written terms on reimbursements, notice period, and a clear end‑of‑assignment certificate; insist on at least one client reference or assignment letter.

A short caution: do not rely on verbal promises. Get the employer(s) to sign the critical points so experience and pay can be verified later.

The experience letter will be provided by your consultancy only with the name of their company and the offer letter too. The same for the second question. You can demand according to your knowledge and experience. do you send me the private msg, becoz I am in the same category and I will give you some more inputs that will not be discussed here.
