I would look for about double your current base salary.

You also pay taxes...its your responsibility for you to take that amount out every pay check soooooo ask for wayyyyyy more 200

I agree with PwC1. I get 110/hr offers like this. Not quite double, but under the right circumstances I would accept them.

You won't get paid off your current B4 salary - that is irrelevant. You need to know the market rate for an independent with the skill sets the role is for. Ask any independents in your network who've filled similar roles or hopefully you've been able to see client budgets and know what they are paying for diff labor sources

Keep in mind all insurance costs will be 100% you if you take the role. Make sure you are getting considerably more than you make today to cover that and then some.

Waaaay more. 150+ at the very minimum

OP - you have to consider insurance cost, 401K, other benefits like mobile bill, 20-30 days paid day off, sick leaves etc before making any decision.. add up everything and also have 3 months as delta if you project ends and need another one.. what ever number you get, put at least 20% raise on top.. I have seen people getting $200-$250 hrs of they have core skills

You might want to take the different independent contractor tax rate into consideration too.

What skills do you have that you got this offer for?

90/hr

Then meet at 85

Op - What's industry , type of work ?

Travel required? If so, who's paying for it?

Just don't do it. Next time when you try for a full time position, the employer will frown upon this

The way more people are right. Look up how much more you will have to pay in taxes as a 1099; you will be shocked.

Program management. Capital projects and strategy. Makes sense. Thanks for the advice. I will check into taxes for sure.

I recently accepted a job that I quite overqualified for because I’m in need of a job. I got hired as a Marketing Manager and work directly with the Marketing Director. Come to find out my director is still in school and has absolutely no marketing experience. She’s been with the company for 4 months. They seem to want to utilize my complete skills set and make up for her lack of marketing knowledge but maintain her position as director and pay me a entry level marketing manager salary. Advice?

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.
