Out of curiosity: if you are a contract employee, what does 6 figure rate mean? Contractors are usually paid an hourly rate.

i assume he means once calculated for yearly, it would be that of a 6 figure rate

Yes, this is a normal assumption, but then 6-figure sounds like s/he is seriously underpaid for a contractor. Assuming when people say 6-figure they mean something just above 100,000. Nobody says "I make 6-figure", if earns let say 250,000.

Depends on where the contracting is done. "Highly paid" is relative.
