* LLC with S-Corp designation. This is very tax-advantaged vs. Sole Proprietor.
* Currently, I'm mostly on-site for one client.
* 1-person shop.
* I have an accountant. You want a good, small business
accountant.
* I buy health insurance for my family through the ACA exchange. It's very expensive so make sure you factor it into your rate.
I've had 2 FT gigs that lasted 6 months each since 2004 and regretted it both times. If you can handle having to network and interview frequently you can make more money with more flexibility as a contract developer.
