We had a fantastic speaker last night. Lisa Morton of TekSystems spoke to us about the pros & cons of contracting.
One of the biggest pros is that you are able to get top pay. You also have a recruiter to depend on to market your services. You don't get involved in office politics!
One of the biggest cons is the possibility of a short term contract. You don't feel like part of the team.
In today's economy, a large number of people are turning to contracting (yes, it is also called "temping"). You should "hook up" with a firm that deals primarily with your field.
Lisa brought up some very good points with respecting to the role of a contractor.
