@tptacek Thanks for the helpful advice.<p>It seems like a lot of new consultants don&#x27;t understand the differences between working as a 1099 contractor vs. W2 contractor vs. regular employee. I&#x27;ve met plenty of people who mistake a W2 contractor as the same as a regular employee except that the work is temporary.<p>I would like to point out that W2 contractors should expect their performance to be evaluated by the hour because that&#x27;s the rate the client is being is charged for solutions. That&#x27;s why it&#x27;s important for W2 contractors to work only during normal business hours so that the client can&#x27;t claim (later when payment is due) that the client didn&#x27;t have opportunity to approve of said work and evaluate said work when the contractor delivered solutions to them.
