It really depends on your situation. I went 1099, and while the higher pay was great, I had to factor in self-employment taxes, health insurance, and retirement savings. If you’re disciplined with money and can set aside for taxes/benefits, it can be worth it. Just make sure you’re truly making enough to cover what you’re losing from a W-2 setup.
Hi both, do you mind sharing how you got the contract positions? Was it through linkedin recruiters or websites or word of mouth? In the past I have seen Indian boutique consulting firms place people for contract positions and taking a cut. But these were not for senior or middle management positions. Thanks.
