Are they offering rates that offset the cost of that stuff? Most contracts I see absolutely suck because they just offer what an equivalent full time roles would with an additional tax burden.
- wonderwonder 5y agoI think it depends on the role. I got a 75% raise when I switched to contracting. I have a year to year contract but everyone else here on the same contract has been here multiple years. I work for a contracting company and they contract me out to a unicorn company. Pay is good, hours are good and when they aren't I get paid OT.

- wonderwonder 5y agoThis is my first one so don't take my advice as gospel, I may have just gotten lucky. What I have always done is updated my resume on Monster and linked In and set whatever settings are needed to allow recruiters to contact me. The calls and emails just start coming in then. Sometimes those calls are from people that don't speak the best of English or have a thick accent, those are the ones I have gotten my current job and another really good W2 job with. Helps if you are not desperate to switch jobs. I was able to negotiate a higher wage as I was willing to walk after giving 2 great interviews. Negotiated an extra 30k onto my salary and I get paid hourly OT if I work over 40 hours a week or for any weekend work.
