it's not clear to me. if i work as a contractor for software development companies in California, will I be classified as an employee?

'cause these look like every long-term contractor needs to become an employee in one way or another.

You probably are an employee unless you are providing specialized consulting expertise and have several clients.

In this case, it's just financially to your benefit to be a consultant. This sword will cut both ways.
