About the Book

Tips for Independent Computer Consultants is a highly focused, hands on manual for anyone considering or already working as an independent consultant. Today, consulting became a major opportunity for those who want to work for themselves. This practical book is filled with detailed advice and provides real world tips for key issues facing independent computer consultants such as: -Writing "consultant" resume -Making thousands of dollars more by deciding whether it is best to be a W2, 1099 or C2C consultant -Having recruiters and clients look for you, instead of you looking for them -Understanding why recruiters work against you not for you -Screening recruiters and agencies -Negotiating with recruiters and agencies -Realizing advantages of working on a short term contract -Asking for a rate increase Introduction Did you ever wonder why a person sitting next to you in the office chooses to work as an independent computer consultant while telling you that he/she is not getting any benefits such health insurance, paid vacation and sick leave? The answer is very simple and may surprise you. This person is doing it because he/she is making 50-100% more than you are while doing the same exact work. At the same time this person does not have to worry about office politics, size of the annual bonus and whether or not he/she will be getting a promotion. The reason for this is rather simple; all this person really cares and worries about is this person's hourly rate that he/she is getting for every hour that he/she is working. In addition to making 50-100% more than a permanent employee independent computer consultant, depending on contractual status, gets to deduct various items as business expenses such as cell phone, home internet connection, tolls for traveling between client sites as well as gets to make bigger tax deductible contributions to 401k style plans.
About the Author: Eric Kay has been working in New York City for over 10 years as an independent computer consultant.

Being independent computer consultant allows you to work on your own terms by choosing projects that interest you and clients you want to work with at the location you like, while making substantially more money than a permanent employee.
