1/15    I'm currently on contract with a software company.  They've opened
        a discussion with me about going perm there.  Can someone tell me the
        pros and cons of each..?
        \_ Contractor: more $, more IRS paperwork
                                \_ just use turbotax, a lot easier.  or get
                                   a tax accountant if you're making $$$$$$
           \_ If you go perm, they will also pay your social security taxes.
              That's another 1.5%.
           Perm: less $, more benefits, more stability, opportunity to advance
           \_ For family people.
        \_ Perms: stock options.
                \_ and insurance, and ESPP, and everything else you
                   would call "more benefits".  Thanks for adding nothing.
