Due to the MS/Perma-temp ruling, you cannot contract at Intel for 3 years
in a row anymore. For the past couple years you could contract for 18
months and then had to take a break for 6 months (or else get hired
permanent by Intel). They've recently lowered it to 12 months contracting
followed by a 6 month gap.

They don't pay very well, though the contracts are pretty long. If you're
in the situation, feel free to take the money and run. Don't expect to be
there long-term though.
