@tptacek Thanks for the helpful advice.

It seems like a lot of new consultants don't understand the differences between working as a 1099 contractor vs. W2 contractor vs. regular employee. I've met plenty of people who mistake a W2 contractor as the same as a regular employee except that the work is temporary.

I would like to point out that W2 contractors should expect their performance to be evaluated by the hour because that's the rate the client is being is charged for solutions. That's why it's important for W2 contractors to work only during normal business hours so that the client can't claim (later when payment is due) that the client didn't have opportunity to approve of said work and evaluate said work when the contractor delivered solutions to them.
