Thanks for the advice tech_invest. If you don??t mind me asking, where do you live and what do you do? I am actually a project manager in Atlanta for a large bank based out of here. I couldn??t agree with you more about what you said. Believe me, I have no problems with corporate job holders looking down at me knowing that I don??t have to answer to nobody but myself. And I??m not worried about the paperwork since I??m very anal when it comes to keeping records and the good thing is that I already have an accountant that prepares my taxes for me. I think being an independent contractor would also force me to do a better job on my personal budgeting. I already set a budget for myself but don??t always do the best job of sticking to it. But when you have a mortgage payment, car payment, child expenses, among other expenses you really better watch your money. |

I live in Europe and am a consultant to tech investors in life sciences and IT, and also do policy consulting to the European Commission and some firms incl investment banks who want to assess impact of emerging regulation on their clients' future strategies and risk profiles.. Good Luck with your transition! Yes bills do keep one focused but can be a big hassle when you are trying to get rid of bad clients..
