I have a full time gig but recently had an interview for a temp 14 week position 1099. The first question they asked me was if I was going to leave my full time role and why do I want to go from FT to freelance. I answered and said yes I planned to leave my FT role but I definitely do not. It’s M-F 9-5 too and this guy seemed to think I could only do that specific job. Now what do I do if I get offered the temp gig? Play it off as I left my FT job?

Yeahhhhh. You “left”. You would be an independent contractor. They really can’t tell you when or how to work. As long as the work is being performed satisfactorily, it’s none of their business…. Not legal advice by the way.

Yea they said 9-5 EST which is my other job too. The meetings is tricky (I have done it before ) where you have to maintain two schedules and being a PM there are a lot of meetings. We shall see! No travel

He offered me the gig and AGAIN asked me about quitting my other job! Like lay off dude

funny

Exactly. They would be stupid to think you’ll leave a full time w2 for just a two week assignment

It’s 14 weeks not days

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
