Question: Are you really making the most money, or just the highest hourly rate?
No longer having corporate sponsored healthcare, 401k match, ESPP, paid vacation and sick leave, etc, to truly take home more money I'd probably need a contractor rate approaching $90/hr. And I'm not even sure that would do it. We'd have to see what it would cost to get my girlfriend health insurance on the open market.............RA medicine is EXPENSIVE.
Also, we have some friends that live in Boise and love it. We need to go visit.
