Probably good for Florida, would be below market in the Northeast (I don’t mean biglaw market/Cravath scale either which would obviously be considerably higher). I’m a 2019 Grad and make $225k base with a 25% bonus for no billable hours (in house), plus equity next year and 6% 401k match.

Yeah that sounds pretty good. Honestly, from what I’ve seen, anything not ID in FL is a good gig, especially with decent pay and hours.

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?
