It's absurd how much money gets thrown at contractors. I would recommend it as well.

coworker is a java dev contractor and said 125$/hr was a lot more than she makes. her husband is an IT manager who pays angular developers that. she suggested i pick up angular a few months ago for career benefits. i was just chatting with someone else who did government contractors previously, and he said it'll be difficult for me to get a security clearance since my family isn't from the US :-/

Difficult, but not impossible. Try it anyways.


We've got a new project we are working on at work that dabbles a bit in angular. It's fun. Still a Javascript monstrosity, but the framework itself has got some cool conceptions.
