is it good to join them for a year long contract?

yes FPG is a genuine company. Do review terms of contract and once finalized go ahead.....remember contracting is all about risk.

Have you never been worked as contractor? If no, I think you should try it (with risk). But if you doing well, they will give other opportunity because they also need you to get the money.
Please keep it in mind that there's big difference load of work between work as contractor and permanent job especially for engineer level based on my work experience.

By the way, E******* Thailand, so you got offer from FPG Hongkong office ?

Hi Friend,

FPG is a fine agency, but do your negotiation properly, once its settled, u will not get problem from them....and contract jobs are always risky...even if its a year long contract..they can end the contract anytime ( will give notice period money)...i am also a contractor...and like to work for 2 more years as contractor ;-)

Hello,
I have had deals with FPG twice. So I am gonna share my experiences with you in order to make the best decision and get required guarantees

1) Once I signed a contract with FPG and I booked flight to go to the project but half day later (as I contact them to book a hotel for me) they canceled the contract and I asked them they pay for flight ticket without me going there , they agreed but later they said they can not pay it off. Luckily I booked a ticket which I could cancel and get my money back.
2) I signed a contract with proper position I went to the project place and I saw the job is not like as the offered position But I finished my contract and then didn't renew it
Those are my experiences with FPG (even though some very nice guys are working in FPG)

You should understand that's the nature of agency, if you make less money, they make more money and besides in contracting job there is high risk So we get paid for risks which we are taking
My suggestion is to:
1) ask for proper rate to cover your risks
2) Get proper guarantees in order to reduce your risks (notice period, penalties for canceling contracts)
3) keep an eye always on upcoming positions to get better offer


Hope my experiences and suggestions help you to make the best decision

Cheers
