I am starting a new job

It's official, I am going into the world of contracting.

This is a steep learning curve for me as there are so many complexities added to your life for the sake of making life easier for the client I guess. They can just pick an hourly rate and agree to pay you that for an agreed period, whereas you need to get insurance and workers comp sorted out, and compulsory superannuation, and incorporation etc, and tax, and expense management and time reporting.... the list goes on.

Wish me luck.
