Responder, you responded to is Indian. It's clear some ass covering going on.

A lot of companies are cutting and then doing contract positions for the same roles. Passed on one with a public company that was $600k tc at the low end and they wanted to shave 5-10% off the contract rate.

I don't mind contracting, but not going to agree to a role where advertise as X, oh, we want you to come on but budget changed. Yeah, nope.
