...of salary or whether it’s worth it. Does anyone have insight on the salary range for the internal digital team? Role is a design lead position. Not sure if it’s worth switching for a prestigious name on my resume and potential salary cut.

I know it doesn’t answer your question, but how did you land the gig to work as independent? Do you have multiple clients or just one?

I can be on my wife’s health plan and it seems really interesting

Are you referring to BCG DV by internal digital team? Or something that’s non client facing? Not sure as to the salary tbh, but I believe they are not up or out. Were you on Talent Exchange?

Any tips about starting, getting clients etc? I calculated $125 or so breakeven after the extra costs and generous down time

Was an independent consultant at 100/hr. Moved to MCK non client facing at 160. Benefits are amazing and room to grow. With independent consulting you peak out at 120 or so an hour unless you are a rock star

Also not sure why you are complaining about taxes. Do you have your own corp? Or work through another?

1099 employees get reamed out on taxes. Quarterly filings are also a pain

I had my LLC. Elected to be treated as S Corp for tax. Yet to do my taxes but I was under the impression that it works out to be better than working on a W2 or 1099
