Haha, very true. I told a friend to seek a contract W2 job through fly-by-night recruiter spam mails or through indeed/dice sites. He was like "I wanna get a job at X-named company in the bay area". He wasted his time like that for two years.

For many people (esp without a great pedigree), getting a contract-W2 job through some staffing company is a great option, if everything else is not working out. Also, tone down your resume a bit, if you want to work for some bank on a contract W2 gig.
