    💼 Negotiation Tips

    • • C2C rates are typically 15-25% higher than W2 to offset lack of benefits
    • • 1099 rates are typically 10-20% higher than W2 due to self-employment tax
    • • Always factor in health insurance costs (~$500-1000/month) when comparing
    • • Consider PTO value: 2-4 weeks unpaid = 4-8% rate reduction
