How big/long gigs do you do? I'm a long-time employee of a consulting company (not sure what's the word in UK? professional services?) and what bothers me in long gigs (year+) is that at many places you're kind of second class citizen as a contractor, so you hear news last etc.
Never done more than 9 months but have done that a few times. I actively want to hear stuff last or preferably not at all. Not my monkey not my circus. I guess in consulting it’s different but it doesn’t have to be. I hate it when people start treating me like an employee.

I guess it's simpler if you do a short gig and then move on. When you stay longer, you can end up with a lot of responsibility and then it's easier if you hear stuff. Not sure if it's smart for companies to give the ownership of core tech to contractors instead of permies

Yeah I think core tech should be owned by perms - but this can be a product owner, even if the entire dev team are the work horses
