You can make more money as a contractor. The deal is contractors get paid more to take in the risk of being fired. If you are ok with this, you get as liquid money the cash that would have gone to benefits.

So I bill for about 200k USD. My wife gets our medical insurance. I take home about 140k after taxes. If I were an employee, I’d only take home 100k after taxes.
