I wonder if this is where most developers end up getting. You can stick to being good at one language/ecosystem, but the more you age the more things you learn and unlearn, the more components and scope the company adds.

Why would a contractor require special care? On the contrary. They supply you the work, you pay for their services, like you would a software company. The benefits they choose for themselves and factor those in in the rate they ask you. The

120/hr? Rates are lower now, at least the ones on the open market. And 2000 hours a year is a stretch, you need to take some holidays. But all in all, still better than..

Not in my country, I actually get tax break for being self employed. In the end I pay less tax on my income than someone employed earning a similar income. Not to mention I make 2-3 times what I would make being employed. And I'm not p

Not Russia but eastern Europe. A long time ago I was working at this company 'subscribed' to government contracts. There was a new project for the army/nato and my colleague was writing our bid offer. Right next to him sat an
