Like the question of whether or not to hire a person who's done a lot of contracting, this question has only one sensible answer: it depends. Just as interviewers might want to question contracting and gaps in employment, they should question how someone with fifteen years' experience has been spending that time. A contractor's history might show unreliability, or personal success; a full-timer's history might show stodginess or accomplishment.


The point is not contracting vs. full-time employment. It's choosing hiring criteria wisely, rather than through prejudice.
