Depends largely on how well you manage your taxes (self employment taxes have a tendency to sneak up in you) and how you feel about your health care costs. If your contract rate *.935 - health care costs is less than the salary offer, then it’s worth it to go w2 (if this contract is your only gig)

I agree. Also convert for that health insurance

Convert to full time for all those benefits. Sucks with the lack of a good 401k match and no PTO.

Amen. Benefits are as important as salary to me

Healthy paws just increased our monthly premiums by over 25% on our 11 month old labradoodle. He has been covered for less than 10 months and of course basically nothing has been covered. For a company that has such a good reputation, I couldn’t be less impressed. Every claim has taken multiple submissions and they have been extremely difficult in every aspect. Is there a legitimately good alternative, or am I better off paying out of pocket? I definitely won’t continue to throw $ away w/ them

What are your thoughts about having to take an iq/personality assessment tests? It seems so outdated to me. I don’t think it predicts how you will truly perform at a job.
