Does anyone here do contract based work in addition to their primary finance role? If so, how much of a premium do you ask for in your hourly rate?

Note: I assume a premium is warranted given second employer/contractor won't have to pay benefits.

To be honest, I’m in a contract role and feel I’m being paid market rate. I ONlY have the one contract role, and left my prior finance role to do this job because it was better fit and better pay. I’ve been told that once I convert to permanent as most people in this role do, I’ll actually get a pay bump a little higher because they no longer have to pay 150% salary for the recruiter to get their cut.

So it depends… are you looking at more like per diem contract work, or more of a long term and full time contract? Because the full time ones usually go through an agency and those agencies do provide benefits. I don’t use or need them because my husbands benefits are better as a teacher, but the contract company has me on a w2 for the year long contract and does offer health, disability, life insurance you can opt into as well as 401k after 3 months. It’s very much like a normal role on that front, so the only risk is in the fact that it isn’t permanent.

I made it clear I'm only interested in per diem/project based though and not part time weekly

Hello Fam Law attys!

I am in my second year as a attorney, I was a FL paralegal before law school and would eventually like to end up there again. I am in a very small rural area, pretty much only solos, and no FL solos appear to be hiring/expanding at this time.

Do you think experience as a DA or PD would be valuable, with my eye toward a future in FL? Both for the skills gained, and/or as a resume piece?

TY!

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
