I think it is a bit different depending on you country. I believe it is comparable in the us with the steep Healthcare prices. in Europe it usually makes sense

  Did both in few parts of Europe. Initially its normally better to contract (but you need to have some chops, nobody hires juniors on contract), but not all countries make this easy or even viable. Once you want to settle, if you want to settle, permanent job under normal circumstances offers better overall package. Maybe not outright amounts, but if you count in things like sickness, holidays, off for kids, social contributions, being treated better among colleagues, and for me personally having much more freedom whenever personal I need to do like bureaucracy (but that may be current circumstance only).

    yep, I am there myself. I seek to settle. as a part of that I also seek to transfer from having worked freelance for many years to take a regular job
