I was recently offered a long-term contract job that was double anything I would expect my salary to be. Why? Because the company instituted a policy of not hiring new remote employees. So the workaround to get the help they need is to hire contractors that aren't beholden to silly employee policies.
- Nasrudith 3y agoDouble what you expect your salary should be is to be expected for contracting from healthcare and other expenses alone. Never mind the instability premium.
- evantbyrne 3y agoAbsolutely. Working on 1099 means paying significantly higher taxes, doing so as quarterly estimated payments, zero benefits, business expenses, and a lot less legal protection. It needs to be a decent margin just to break even. I was more commenting on how counterproductive RTO policy is.
