I think it depends on what you did and how they put you in to accounts payable. If they list you as a vendor, like the coffee supplier, they'll take like 60-90 days. If you make your terms clear upfront, then they should abide by them.

^ Agree. I never have signed onto a gig that wasn't Net 15 (which is a miracle) or more frequently Net 30 by my own doing. Gotta pay those bills.

Depends on your definition of "forever". 30 days is fairly standard.

Nope. 30 days. And they usually pay in 2 weeks.

I’m a healthcare based PM here , and this role is at a health tech startup. I may potentially get a bump in salary, but not sure at this moment
