Contract Developers vs. Full-time Developers

It seems like is harder to find a full-time developer job with health insurance and retirement. Banks love to hire contractors and avoid hiring full-time employees. The same with tech companies. This article says remote work will lead to more gig work. It seems true.

Do you have more contractors on your team than regular employees?

In the war over remote work, companies are turning full-time jobs into low-paying gigs

As more employees work remotely, employers are seizing the opportunity to accelerate what one expert calls "the Uberization of the workforce."

I've been a software engineer contractor for my entire 10 years career. 9 years as an easter-european offshore contractor, grew my rate to $200/hr, 1 year as US-based one, $300/hr. Here's the gist: it's the dream job to be a contractor for US companies while living in europe. And it sucks big time to be a contractor inside the US or if one wants to be an advanced expert with an A+ team, not just a solo sellsword. There's a lot of context around this, of course.
