Well, they get paid to be terminated much more easily. Typically at companies where that's "harder" for employees.

But the entire idea of contract + senior/architect is somewhat bizarre, given how much of the latter's jobs are consensus, relationship-based, and political.

Now we probably know also the reason why.

Agreed. I'd never really thought about it that way. I have been contract architect... and while it was a better position, I would say the work suffered for my personal lack of intra-company relationships.

Going forward I would probably avoid contract work with those responsibilities.

On the other hand, call me a consultant, hire me from a higher level sponsor, and at least I have a clear remit.
