Become an IT Contractor (Sunscreen Song) Everyone has the right to rip people off. If I could offer you only one tip for the future, contracting would be it. The long term benefits of contracting have been consistently misunderstood by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own 9-5 experience. I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and beauty of your ability to seem competent. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of an ability to seem competent until it's faded. But trust me, in 5 years you'll look back at timesheets you wrote and marvel at your ability to make up work, piss off permanent employees And, how much fun it really was. You are not as greedy as you imagine. Don't worry about where the next contract is coming from. Or worry. but know that worrying is as effective as pretending you have some technical ability. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your greedy mind. like the realization there will only be one Year 2000 on some idle Tuesday. Increase your hourly rate every day to a level that scares someone. Program badly. Be reckless when writing code for other people. Don’t put up with people who know what they're doing. Lie. Don't waste your time on technical facts. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and in the end, its your pocket that is bulging. Make up contracts you received. forget the disasters. If you succeed in doing this, become a consultant. Keep your old timesheets. Throw away your code. Steal Code. Don't feel guilty if you steal someone else's code. The most wealthy people I know at 22 don't know how to program. Some of the richest 40-year-olds steal other peoples GUI's. Get plenty of contracts. Be kind to your employer. You'll miss them when they've gone bust. Maybe it'll compile, maybe it won't. Maybe you'll pay tax, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll own 6 cars, 10 PC's and still be technically brain-dead on your 35th birthday. Whatever you do, congratulate yourself far too much and pretend to be a guru. Your choices are totally money influenced. So are everybody else's. Enjoy someone else's wallet. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what you can suck from it. Its probably the only time you're happy. Secretly ask for stock options, even if you don't deserve them. Tell 'the permanent employees, you got them. Do not read programming magazines, they just confirm you're stupid.

I'm doing OK, but not nearly as busy as you seem to be. Are you still burning your candle at both ends and in the middle trying to start up your business while keeping your dayjob?

always... you know what they say, it's not burning your candle at both ends that is a problem... it's the blowtorch in the middle that gets ya.... actually, the business is without any customer(s) at the moment, so it's just me and the day job and proposals for contracts for the business.

I hope things pick up for you. The only thing worse than writing documents all day is writing documents all day when you're not getting paid. X|

Well, I do still have the day-job, so this is not a do or die situation, but I do spend a lot of evenings writing proposals.... :) Learning about partnering with Lockheed Martin right now, who knows? Maybe they will decide to admit me to the Mentor Protégé program or as an SBIR partner and things will pick up. :) Or I just keep the blowtorch warmed up and "something" is bound to happen. ;)
