Rules
As a long time consultant, this reminded me of Are you a prostitute or are you a consultant?
Specifically, "The client always thinks your “cut” of your billing rate is higher than it actually is, and in turn, expects miracles from you."
I do NOT miss being yelled at by some middle management Kevin about how I'm charging them $275 per hour to justify their getting whatever crazy shit isn't in the purchase agreement. I wish I made $275/hour. That'd be amazing.
You weren't the consultant.
You were the subcontractor for the consultant.
If that's true, then that makes all employees subcontractors.
Not all consultants are self employed.
