I'm a software developer and it seems that everyone is hiring contract to hire. Recruiters keep feeding me the line that this is standard practice and to determine if I'm a good "technical fit," but I'm wary. Are contract to hires ever a good place to be in?

I applied to an ad for a contract position with an organization in my city that I've wanting to learn more about. So far I've had one positive phone interview with the project manager, but the more I deal with the recruiter, the more I'm concerned about the firm using deceptive methods. Is it worth it to call up the headquarters of this firm to voice my concerns?

Weird situation to be in: I am interviewing for jobs, and i'm uncomfortable with asking for more money than i earn right now, because i already feel i'm being overpaid. Complication: i'm working with a recruiter who knows my current income, and who is himself remunerated based on a percentage of the income any new employer offers me.

I have questions about finding a new job whilst working my current one
and hating it. And changing careers. And what to say to recruiters so that I don't end up in an office environment like this again. And questions about references. Sigh. Oh and guilt.
