    you can adjust the hourly to a per project based salary which may be better for you as you will be in-house you will be seen as one of their current staff...

    i recently learned that if you charge per project that you are no longer looked at the same way as you were above only because the client is now looking at your hours and they may way to deduct here and there for your lunch and travel time, all which you can charge for.

    you are not gettingtheir benefit packages thet their full time staff receives, but yet the client will look at you jsut the same since you are charging on an hourly basis.

    i suggest to try to work out a plan on the per project basis as well...this way you can easily sate a lot more detail of what you are actually going to give the client instead of them barking orders at you when ever they please. try to limit what you are offering and then charge them for each new action going forward...you can bill them per hour or per job, either way is fine.

    but since your time will be looked at the same as their regular staff, what prevents them from firing you just as easily?? contract or not..

    if it is a per job basis, you can allocate the amount of money to start before in the middle and in the end which is 3 numbers over the weekly hourly end rate, which their acconting department will most likely try and say your math is wrong and you added lunch and this and that ...

    just a thought...

    ;)
