How do you get into the contractor pool at different companies?

I am a couple of months into my first contractor role at one of the FAANG companies. I only got my foot in the door because of a direct contact to the person in charge of my department. This is my first freelance stint at any company ever. Ive always been full time. And when i reached out to this person, i was lookong for full time.

Most big tech companies use staffing agencies instead of hiring contractors one on one. Consider getting yourself set up with an account through Aquent for starters

Got it will do, thanks for the tip!

Anyway, they put me in contact with Magnit and here i am.

So that being said, how does one go about expanding my reach for similar work/similar situation to the orher FAANG companies in the area?

I'm in a group where I get great reviews each year and earn praise from clients, but partners don't invest much in me or let me work on the "good" deals (I always get the scraps). I'm also the only black attorney in my group, which may or may not be relevant. I doubt I have a chance of making equity partner, though I also don't want to. If you were me, would you go to a competitor just to stick it to people here? Or mail it in, shoot for a NEP/counsel-type gig, collect paychecks, and coast?
