Hi, I notice that I received more and more software engineer position which is contract-type rather than permanent. Is it due to my age or is it a trend? I am 44 this year. sweat.gif

The job offer pay is actually not bad and MNC companies. Just that, the majority are contract type and the payroll is from a local company but the work/clients are MNC companies. hmm.gif

I believe its due to the covid and recent news about tech lay-offs, It is expected now that if it is a project based position - contract based workers are easier for employers to lay off once the project is completed or when the demand is low
Unless you are dev-OPS, then due to nature of OPS [routine maintenance patching + app support] work, then it is much easy to justify it to be a permanent role

If Dev-sec-ops ? Wow you should fight for highest pay and permanent job with the best benefit bro
