You can be on a W2, but as soon as the contract ends, your employment ends since you're "at will" in the US.
Usually the W2 is provided through an agency and you're getting a paycheck from them while the agency is billing the company for hours at a negotiated rate, often much higher than you're being paid.
- dsr_ 4y agoAlways ask your supervisor how much they're paying for you. You might not be allowed to work for that company soon (non-competes enforced at the agency side), but you can certainly get a better idea of your value.

My belief is that 20%-30% of what you're making is a fair number. Though if it's somewhere where you could really get a foothold and make a lot of money as an employee, 50% might be acceptable.
