Contract positions with Google and Facebook

I put my resume on Dice looking for jobs and I got a few 3rd party recruiters calling me about contract positions at Google and FB. Their rates are in the range of $60 to $80 for DE positions. Does the experience as contractor of G and FB really help once the gig is done or are those looked down on ?

Plus you can push them to 90-100$/hr with benefits.
The issue isn’t $$$. It’s your inability to have the same rights, access and respect as a FTE.
Same with interviewing after contract. Once it’s found out that you were a contractor your respect falls out most of the time since people think it’s the easy way in.
1) working 2 jobs at once
2) getting paid for a job (if you lose one) while you job hunt and get severance from lost job
