With all these layoffs, will there be more contracting roles opened up to fill the gaps? If I wanted to contract (FAANG for example), where could I see roles without having to go through third party recruiters?
Most of the companies do hire contractors through third party, a contractor company. So highly unlikely you will able to get a contract role directly.
Probably offshore contractors
