Been doing it for 2 1/2 years. It's a mixed bag. Overall, I'm happy. For the longest time, I had no company, just did 1099. Just last year got a LLC.
If you don't understand the last two sentences, you've got a lot to learn to operate as an independent. It took me quite some time to learn the terms, the math, the tricks, the caveats and so forth. The paperwork and the regulations and the taxes etc. And negotiations, contracts. Most importantly, avoiding the bad ones who won't pay. Still learning. It's a different life/different "job". If you crave stability, certainty, you probably won't like it because it's really like an adventure with its ups and downs and you are on your own in many ways. Call it freedom/opportunity or call it chaos/risk. It is more demanding than, in my opinion, a permanent job especially a non-consulting one. Just my personal opinion, so please don't shoot me. Say, I don't want to be doing this till retirement. --- "Gary Opela (Corporate)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm just curious, how many of you do your own > independent thing with remedy? > > > Thanks, > > Gary Opela, Jr., RSP > Remedy Engineer > Leader Communications, Inc. > http://www.5pointleader.com > http://www.lcibest.com > Best Product, Best People, Best PriceTM > An ISO 9001:2000 Certified, CMMI(r) Level 3 Rated > Company > > > _______________________________________________________________________________ > UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at > www.arslist.org > Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where > the Answers Are" > _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor: www.rmsportal.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
