After a few decades as a technologist (across different roles from web dev. to tech lead to project/product mgr to architect, etc.)...now, the only thing i want to do is: "...be a pair of hands and left alone to deliver your your piece..." and "...be bought in as the experienced pair of hands to fix a problem..." And, nothing else. :-)
Sometimes you’ll just be a pair of hands and left alone to deliver your your piece.
Sometimes you’ll basically be a “disguised employee” with all of the same politics and team dynamics.
Sometimes you’ll be bought in as the experienced pair of hands to fix a problem and need to get deep into the team dynamics.
Generally, contractors are a little more lonesome than permanent employees, but it’s dependent on the project.
