Is there more info about this somewhere? Sounds kind of vague, like i have no idea where to start.
The only contract jobs I had treated me as a full time employee, i just didnt get benefits
- alexmingoia 4y agoWhat I did when I started was respond to job postings and offer the same contribution as an hourly service, using a weekly retainer of 10-20 hours (remote). It worked well. Companies are desperate for good engineers. I found they'll always push for more hours, but that's the nature of the game.
- BreakfastB0b 4y agoSorry for context I live in Australia and the OP said he’s from the UK. Both places have Universal Health care so “full time benefits” are not really a thing here. I just started responding to recruiters that I was only interested in contract work 20-30 hours a week and increased my hourly rate by 30% to compensate for no paid leave / superannuation contributions.
