For short-term contract, like 6 months, you have to count the gap cost between two contracts. You need to negotiate this cost; otherwise they put the money to their pocket.

I think the best negotiation in this scenario, is agreeing to an early notice for any layoff. This puts you in a better position to avoid the gap. Of course this is a matter of trust, but I think you can tell, if you pay attention, when the Life rafts are opening.
I don't think long term you can completely avoid all gaps. However, the salary differential should put you in a position to weather that storm, when it hits you about once every 3 years.
190k to 115K leaves quite a delta as insurance. Also consider that contract work pays overtime, rather than working for free.
IMHO - Looking for job security, rather than "career security", is a mistake in this flat world.

You're going to have to do the math yourself. Heck, you're a programmer - that's a breeze. It's not really that tough but the RISK and salary parts depend on you and where you live.
For me, I'll always prefer an employee position if the pay is decent.
During the early 2000s though, there were only contract positions available to me. So I took them and learned they are a GREAT way to get your pay rate up. ESPECIALLY if your wife gets benefits through her work. You don't have the security of having the same job next year. But you get paid for that. Then when you finally find a decent employee position, you're now in a good place to go "hey - I WAS making this and I want to keep doing that or I'll walk".
You can do the same thing by just CHANGING companies as an employee. It takes some serious work to do it. But it's well worth it. Companies could CARE LESS about their employees these days. Changing companies repeatedly is the only way to get the upper hand. Well, I'm sure there ARE companies who care about their employees/workers. But they're small and risky ones and are few and far between.

I do both. I have a day job that pays pretty well and I work on the side to pay for my toys. Before I took my current "full-time" position, I did consulting/contract work for over a decade, including owning a staffing company.
For me, if I want to make $100K, I bill around $100/hr. If I like the project or I've been working on it for years, then the rate tends to be lower because I rarely raise my rate once a project is rolling.
Why the $100K to $100/hr ratio? When you are consulting there is a lot of extra overhead that you can't directly bill for. Generating invoices, unbilled travel (when you normally tele-commute), hardware, office space, broadband, E&O insurance, advertising, etc. And that's just doing the work, not living. You have to include vacation time, sick days, other personal time, retirement, insurance, etc. No one honestly works every possible day. If you want an apples to apples comparison then you have to throw in everything that takes place as part of "working."
If you're good at what you do you client list will grow. If you suck, then you'd better take a perm job and hide as long as you can until they figure it out. I tend to turn down work because I don't want or need more work to fill my imaginary "free time."
The ratio works for me. Your experience may vary.

Only thing good about a full time job is the benefits and vacation, if your not getting those things than it's not worth it. Also depends on how many hours a week the full time position will require, if they expect you to work a long day then contracting is always better.
$90 hr x 50 hr work week = $4,500 a week. $4,500 a week x 24 weeks (6 month project) = $108,000
$115,00 per year / 2 (6 month project) = $57,500
How much will benefits cost for 6 months? $108,000 - cost of benefits = true earnings

Those aren't nearly big enough to destroy a hard drive; you want a pair of something like this[^] to crush it. (Prosthetic limbs not included.)
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If you have an important file to erase, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the disk once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
