>How do you find such contract work?

It's a misnomer[0]. You usually find this work through vendor companies that actually hold the contracts with BigCo's. To the BigCo, you're a contractor but you're "technically" an FTE with the vendor company, who holds the actual contract (head count x duration) to work at the BigCo.

I'm wondering why you felt the need to link to a definition of a word you used?

for the reader, not the writer. he/she obviously knows the word but a potential reader might not and he's just saving them the google search, my guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

he doesn’t realize all modern OS can automatically look up word definitions?
