I've never heard of contractors getting paid in stock, which is arguably one of the best parts of being in tech, you can ride the price up, and if the price crashes, you can switch jobs.
I believe you that the contractor rate can pay substantially more than salaries but does it make up for the 100k, 200k, or more in stock each year a FTE might get at a really good tech company?
