Employee vs contractor: what changes
Lesson 1 of 5 · 6 min
Lesson notes
Contracting offers freedom and higher rates — but you take on the responsibilities an employer used to handle.
Know the trade-offs
- You cover your own taxes, time off, and benefits.
- Income is variable; a cash buffer matters.
- You choose your clients, projects, and schedule.
- Understand W-2 vs 1099 vs corp-to-corp (C2C) arrangements.
Independence is a great fit when you value autonomy and can handle the admin and uncertainty.
