  that's when you say 'kThanxBye!!' and move on, Jim.

  I got sucked into something 'dumb' like this... turns out I was working at about 1/3 the rate of what freelance would be getting me... and I was working longer hours... OH... and I had no insurance, office or equipment covered by them... that shit was alllllll on me.

  ... these are all things that people who get paid at an employee rate should receive... yet... I was still getting 1099'ed at the end of the day and covering all the little things that a fulltime gig would normally cover. (stupid me!... happy them!)

  (damnit, Jim... I'm a doctor... not a staffing specialist!!)

  • oh... software! I left out software!
    If you're working for yourself... get paid at an appropriate rate that also covers your costs...PonyBoy
  • that covers your costs... what you're describing sounds like you could get taken advantage of rather easily.PonyBoy
