im considering some contract work... i have a special skillset, and the company that is offering the contract will pay ~68/hr.
The median in my area is roughly $45/hr.
It's an interesting position in that I'd be speaking directly with customers, while also doing integration of systems, as opposed to just being an in-house coder.
Is there a reason that I should be wary of doing contract work? Is there a reason why this contract is willing to pay so much more than a regular fulltime position?
Ultimately, I'd like to start a company, and this could be a good way to build capital, and control the amount of hours that I'm working as well, so that my work time doesn't bleed into the time I want to have for startup projects/ideas.
