What are everyone's thoughts on contract positions? Maybe not permanently, but for a year or two to gain different experience as well as that higher pay. From what I'm seeing they usually pay higher to compensate for missed benefits. I also see some talent agencies offer benefits.

The biggest concern I'm seeing is not exactly knowing when it will end (I dont know if an exact date is written into the contract), making it difficult to plan out your next opportunity.

Hi!
As an ex-recruiter and based on how my agency operated, this is my experience:
yes, contract roles are typically paid more.
There is usually an end date written in the contract so you can plan your next step in advance.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad.

It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
