> On last few teams I have been pulling most of the project while being unpaid (southern Europe devs rejoice) so I m thinking about incorporating as well...

Not getting paid? Are you trying to break into an industry with an unpaid internship or is this a hack-a-thon side project?

I don't understand how structuring an independent contractor offering will get you paid by the same folks who aren't paying you at the moment.

Doesn't sound like it would solve your issue.

Underpaid, it was unfortunate autocorrect that slipped, sorry. I am dev with 10y of working experience. I considered freelancing before, got onto toptal and similar pages but got no good offers (net money would be better but with incorporation/sole prop. I would lose health and retirement benefits) - the moment they hear where I am from the offer is cut down or passed to someone else...
