      Tips For Independent Computer Consultants - Eric Kay

      Introduction

      Did you ever wonder why a person sitting next to you in the office chooses to work as an independent computer consultant while telling you that he/she is not getting any benefits such health insurance, paid vacation and sick leave? The answer is very simple and may surprise you. This person is doing it because he/she is making 50-100% more than you are while doing the same exact work.

      At the same time this person does not have to worry about office politics, size of the annual bonus and whether or not he/she will be getting a promotion. The reason for this is rather simple; all this person really cares and worries about is this person’s hourly rate that he/she is getting for every hour that he/she is working.

      In addition to making 50-100% more than a permanent employee independent consultant, depending on contractual status, gets to deduct various items as business expenses such as cell phone, home internet connection, tolls for traveling between client sites as well as gets to make bigger tax deductible contributions to 401k style plans.

      NOTE: Each person’s tax situation
