I was a contractor at IBM with the carrot dangling. Not only did I get the full time job, but I made a killing in the process. It's not for everyone, weigh your choices, know the company you are working for and the company you are working at. Work hard, show them your stuff, if it's good enough you just might get it and if not, you are still contracting and can look for other work.
