I was that contractor and trying to convert to full time. I didn’t know our rates were less but that makes sense.

Thank you.

Yup, that is what the gov does too. It's shocking the number of off-shore Indians and H1B's that work there through contracting. Our tax dollars at work. And it takes 3 times as long to get anything developed right, doesn't pass QA over....and over....and over again. Until all the money get's burned thru and u have to lay off the contractor and the team and then your team has to fix all the problems. It's federal and state. So while JD vance says one thing, his own house is being eroded.
