I work in a company (B) for a year now as a consultant (recruitment company (A)).
The contract between A & B ends in a month, B have the opportunity to hire me (at the end of this contract).
I deliberately did not go see B's HR to ask them about this potential hiring of me.
However they did contacted me last week about it.
I'm in a strong position as:
1) They contacted me about it and not me.
2) B is currently recruiting front-end developers (same position as me) because we have a too much work for the 4 of us currently.
3) They probably pay A (the recruitment company) a lot, and I even think it's higher than the salary I want
So they know my skills since I already work with them for a year as any other front-end dev working directly for them.
So I'm asking have you any advice to take advantage of this situation ?
Thanks
One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.
What advice could you give me for my situation ?

Do the interviews with them.
Don't tell your salary expectations.
Ask them to make a written offer.
Then reply but email you want a bit more
Okay, thanks!
