I am very happy to not be contracting, especially after reading all these
postings.
I work overseas, and have found this has some IRS benefits. If you are
living outside of the US for 360 consecutive days you are tax exempt in the
US though you usally pay tases in the country you are working. These days
can be across years. Please get tax advise for details, but it may help.
