So true, as a technical contractor, I am blessed and fortunate to have achieved the following:
- I make 1/3 less the hourly wage I did as a full time employee,
- I have to cut in the agency, who tries to get my rate lower so their spread is higher.
- I have no benefits.
- I have no vacation time.
- I have to scare down new recruiters when the contract is over.
- I am lucky to get jobs that are many levels below my skill level.
- I am asked to do filing, which makes everyone happy.
- when the work at the contact location slacks off, I'm threatened with having the contract cancelled early.
Isn't that special?
I know, it's hard to believe anyone could rise to such a level of accomplishment, but wait around, this could be you too, in a couple of years.
