BTW can someone provide a quick refresher as to this now allegedly lucrative contract market please? Like, what might be median rates for Senior Developer skills in a reasonably meaty domain (say data engineering, crypto, high-performance web) in say, Bay Area / NYC respectively (I'm assuming there's a differential here). That's be very helpful. Again, not "consulting" per se (and the baggage / shtick that goes along with it), just straight up 6-18 month contracting. Thanks very much!
