Hi all,<p>I've been trying to find contracting gigs but haven't had much luck lately (been mainly looking via my network, meetups, and a few startup message boards). I've been considering reaching out to firms that place candidates into contracting gigs.<p>With that in mind, does anybody have experience with these sort of firms? If so, would you recommend it? Also, any recommendations on firms would be appreciated.<p>Background on myself: BS/MS in CS (MS thesis in computer vision). Was a Data Engineer at AdTech company for 4 years (a lot of AWS/Hadoop/Spark/Scala/Python).<p>thank you!
