Working in an at-will employment state, I find the difference between this kind of contracting, and FTE, to be equivalent. * You can quit/terminate your contract at any point (though some have penalties) * Your employer can fire/terminate your contract at any point for almost any reason. * If there's no work, you're out of a job. * Salary and benefits packages - contracts tend to balance toward salary and FTE toward benefits, but almost everyone provides *something*. * FTE coworkers and contractors intermingle - everyone's human, everyone eats lunch.
