FTEs jumping ship is not as easy as contractors jumping ship. I personally myself have worked with 6 different clients in the last 2 years offcourse some are for multiple projects. In FTE there is no such chance..  Finding a FTE H1 sponsor is not as easy and FTE hiring is usually a long process multiple rounds of HR interviews and team interviews and so on..

Did u ever leave ur current contracting role before getting new one?

agree fte takes time but not impossible to change.

people do change fte jobs while on h1b.

Bro 200k including everything but base will be much lower..you will never use half of those benefits like disability benefits. Sick leave anedi just ninnu satisfy cheyyataaniki ante. Try taking sick leave several times in a month and see how your manager reacts. Health Vision and Dental my mestri also offers.. Except for 401k and PTo none of the other benefits matter.. when I take a contract I always factor in 3 weeks of leave and ask for at least 10$ more. FT is more of illusion of a safety net where they make you more and more dependent on them till they let you go one day, the fear on a FTE H1’s face when they hear the word lay off is palpable. They have no other sources of income and they’re completely tied to and dependent on their company. Contracting is more dynamic and you can make more and dabble with n number of clients, have more sources of income and make 30 to 50% more money if you plan properly.. 

evaru chepparu base will be lower ani

insurance and benefits are deemed as waste only until you really need them

taking sick leave several times a month is not good whether you are fte or contractor so this is not a valid point to argue about but I took 70+ hours sick leave and 20+ hours covid leave last year for a number of doctor appointments for me and family including time for regular check ups etc ,allowed me some peace of mind
