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.
Also, we have some friends that live in Boise and love it. We need to go visit. |
$300 a day for 80% of the time, about 3-4 hours of work (for the 20% chance it does exceed 8 then it's $600). I only plan to do this for about 6 months before I get back the the W-2 realm; I can't do this line of work forever.
I only intend for this to be a fast track to catching up to where a 34 year-old guy like myself should be in life... Having a house, settling down and having a bit of savings, instead of renting a spare bedroom and not even having a rainy day fund).
Also, before this I was mostly a temp, so I either never got those benefits or were able to afford them anyway.
