I am interviewing for a contract role with Microsoft. I have never done contract work before, other than things like no benefits/taxes withheld, what things should I consider in the negotiation process? I’ve never been great at negotiating and feel like if short-sold myself in previous roles.

Are you doing w2 contract or 1099/C2C? If you’re going through an agency some do offer benefits. In my experience it’s been typically a pain to negotiate salary outside of the range they provide unless I come across another agency sourcing for the same role.

Hey everyone!
I'd love to get your feedback on our subscription marketing service.

My partner and I created a cost-effective subscription so small / medium-sized businesses could focus more running their business and strategies without the need to hire in-house, manage multiple freelancers, or fight with agencies.

We do this with a proprietary Workspace so marketing managers can delegate projects, connect with our team, and download completed work / files.
