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.
