i briefly worked for a contractor company and one of the HR employees accidentally let slip that while i was making something like $20/hr, client was paying $40/hr. (not in the US)
it's pretty insane. makes me wonder why clients wouldn't just poach good contractors. happier employee, happier company.

Companies who are hiring contractors know that they're paying more per hour than a full time employee would cost. They do it because they don't need somebody permanently, don't need somebody full-time, need expertise that they don't already have in-house, need somebody faster than they could do a full job search, or any number of other reasons.

edit: also the finance team is on a business trip for the week so the approval (or denial?) is taking longer than expected but my future manager is following up with them every day.

Yeah, our finance team is at a conference in Vegas right now.
