I have 25 years as a professional developer, but I’ve been writing code in some form or another for almost 40 years. I’ve been getting multiple emails from recruiters for MONTHS. I absolutely love my current role, and have no intention of leaving, but I’m betting I could make at least $130 an hour in the current market, which would be more than twice what I make salary-wise. It’s certainly tempting, but contracting has downsides too. No paid vacation, insurance, etc.
