I don’t know if this matters, but I need to learn more. Help me out.

Working for a small agency for a few months now on one client on a temporary employment agreement. Getting ready to sign a contract for work on a new client, but now they’re putting me on an independent contractor agreement at the same hourly rate. They didn’t tell me about the switch until they sent the contract.

Should I be concerned? Will I end up making less? What questions should I be asking?

Some Business Intelligence/Analyst roles are very data heavy. I wonder why these roles do not have the term “data” in them, and wonder if it’s to keep the salary lower than it should be. I have colleagues doing intense data science tasks as BI Analysts, and can’t help but feel indignant on their behalf because when hearing their job title, one would underestimate their technical ability.
