It’s not attractive at all to me. I like going to work every day and the same amount of money shows up in my account twice a month whether I’m sick or go on vacation. I’m not chasing after clients or money and if the company goes out of business or my job somehow disappears, I call my list of a dozen or so well curated local recruiting agencies I’ve kept in contact with over the years and find another job quickly.

Now on the other hand, I have no issue with doing W2 contracting with an agency, I get paid for every hour I work. I just make sure I negotiate a high enough rate to take into account gaps in employment, unpaid time off, and lack of a 401K match. I can always get insurance through my wife.
