I'm a contractor for one of these companies. It pays okay ($45+/hour) if you can pass qualifications for your area of expertise but the work isn't steady and communication is non-existent. The coding qualifications I did were difficult FAANG algorithm analysis questions. The work has definitely gotten harder over the last year and often says we need to come up with Masters/PhD level work or problems that someone with 5+ years of experience in a field would have difficulty solving. I wish I had a regular job but I live in rural North Carolina and remote work is hard to come by.

Same here. I'd love to get a full time coding job even if it meant a pay cut on hourly terms, but everything in my area pays much, much less and also I have a hard time even getting interviews. Guess I'll try to apply to this kind of role but full time, I think Amazon, Mistral and xAI are hiring.
