A contract role pays more for a reason - consider total costs as you’ll be self-employed (think employer paid social security, medicare that you’ll have to cover), as well as higher cost of health insurance, lack of 401k match, etc. I’m not familiar with contract work but that is what comes to mind. Definitely google!
