Got the skills to pay the bills?
Every employee has wondered what it'd be like to be a contractor at some point. Maybe even dreamed of being one. Now reverse the roles and you don't find many Contractors worth their weight dreaming of becoming employees.

Contracting is not for everyone, however it is a great way to broaden your skill set, see many different software systems and how they were built as well as experience both the good and the bad projects and take the good with you and leave the bad behind at contracts end.
A common excuse for Employees when asked "why don't you become a contractor" is that they "like the stability, and a paycheck every two weeks". Paycheck every two weeks is nice, but you know what else employers use two weeks for? NOTICE! Stability in the workspace is a thing of the past. If your company wants to cut costs, here come "The Bobs" and there goes X% of your co-workers (or you).
We aren't trying to convince you to become a contractor. However, if you're good, you like to be constantly challenged and love changes of scenery, you might be a contractor at heart.
Enjoy!
