Offer from Google
Couple of weeks back I received an email from Mark Grantham — a User Experience Recruiter @Google — about working with them.
I recently received your name from a current Googler who mentioned you’d be a strong asset here. I am hoping that you might be open to exploring opportunities with Google.
Opportunity of lifetime, isn’t it? But I’ve different priorities and prefer to work independently. After working with Intel (as freelancer) for almost an year I’ve learnt a lot about working with big companies. There are some great advantages when you work with smaller clients, like:
- More Flexibility: Smaller clients give you respect and know that you are just like them. They understand your problems and try to help you out while being flexible on timelines.
- They trust you: Trust gives you confidence to try different directions while moving forward with the best possible solution. Client’s trust in your abilities and skills help you deliver a better product.
- You make decisions: Both client and you participate in decision making. You know your field while they know the product. Thus both rely on each other for making better decisions for better product.
- Better Communication: Quick and one-to-one communication happens most of the time. You get early feedback from decision making people.
- Quick Payments: Everybody loves upfront payments. Though smaller clients have lower budgets but they are quick to pay you before you get started.
Big clients get you big names in your portfolio which creates a feeling of confidence in you and your future clients. So, it’s always good to have some experience working with at least 1 big client and see how it works out for you. Best of luck!
