thinking about starting an s-corp or something so that i can take on corp to corp contracts for a while, it seems like theres big (easy) money to be made there |
|
|
the devops market is insane right now i put my resume on dice 2 days ago and i already have 3 interviews lined up and i’m averaging about 4 indian spam calls an hour |
|
|
if you’re looking now’s the time tbh i’m probably going to get a 40-50k bump i was talking to a guy earlier today and he was like yeah i actually JUST placed this exact role a few weeks ago but it turns out the guy was working 3 jobs and started no showing afternoon meetings so they had to fire him so the moral is, get 4 jobs |
|
|
yeah idk. i just want money |
|
it seemns like it would |
|
|
i mean i make a lot of money rn by any standard it would just be cool to have more is all |
|
|
i still don’t really understand how i fell into this line of work but i’m gonna go with it til they figure out i don’t know what i’m doing |
|
|
was talking to a recruiter for a job with a big name company the other day and when i told him how much i needed to make he was like oh they’re budgeted for way more than that so we’re gonna with that instead it feels like i’m bizzaro world in this market |
|
|
yeah i was considering the social security thing too. my understanding is you get it back as a tax deduction but still, it’s a pretty significant chunk of change. |
|
|
my adult job laid a bunch of people off yesterday and nobody is getting a raise/bonus this year or probably next so i’m going to be accelerating this process 2 interviews tomorrow for some senior level sre positions |
|
|
well, i did it. now i have to start sourcing contracts i guess. i didn’t think this through very well. |
|
still sourcing a few things, i have some stuff in the pipeline already though. feels like this move way faster. I have a thing next week that’s a 1 and done. got my bank accounts set up and ready to go. just need to figure out the tax stuff, gonna find an accountant and declare as an s-corp so i can draw salary and deduct that feels like this is kind of a lifehack, but lots of minutia that can trip you up. but the flexibility is sick, it feels good to be able to say i’m really just working for myself. |
