Taking the plunge!

Tomorrow begins my final week as a W2 employee. As of Monday, February 27th I become an independent contractor!

Through our local user group, I've built up a relationship with a local consulting company, SRT Solutions. They recently contacted me to see if I knew anyone for a position they were trying to fill in the automotive sector. I didn't really know anyone looking. Then they asked, "Would you be interested?". I thought it over for a few days and did some additional research, asked lots of questions and finally decided to do it!

It's an exciting opportunity to utilize .NET 2.0 in the automotive sector. Plus, I get to work with David White, a former Microsoft DE for the automotive sector who is now running his own startup company! It was an opportunity too good to pass up.

Although I've been doing a lot of research on becoming an independent contractor, I'll welcome any advice or tips to those of you who have taken the plunge yourself.
