Ask HN: How do I get employee opportunities as a long term contractor?

For various reasons I've done a lot of contracting over the last 10 years. In the beginning it was because I needed to work remote and contract jobs were most available. But this had to led to a resume of jobs lasting three months to two years, with lots of sub-year engagements. This makes me appear to be either a job hopper or someone with performance issues, when in reality this is the nature of the beast with contracting and the fact that I've made a long career of contracting actually means I'm capable of jumping into new stacks and succeeding. Contracting has its benefits but now in a remote friendly world I'd like to have opportunities in employee roles.
