Unless you can get a 150k referral from someone, 125k is solid and is worth it at least for the first year.

Go for 150K bonus. I’m considering this and then downgrading to the gold card.

Thanks for the tip

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?
