Sep 2	comment	What kind of liability insurance should a contract engineer have? Marco, so what do you want to protect yourself from? Re. workers comp, must be poorly run shop you are contracting with. Most places (mine including) won't work with 1099ers without coverage. But again, I am not an insurance broker, you should contact a local one and discuss your needs.

I would ask around what personality traits seem to work well and do not work well, get examples of how they have dealt with major mistakes, ask the hard question if they had to let someone go and how they did that, etc.

Yes, things differ region to region, but you can ALWAYS find what and who you need, if you want it bad enough and work at it. Serendipity only happens if you put yourself out there with an open mind. Cheers!

Aug 1	comment	Does the concept of “Unlimited Vacation” increase productivity and attract talented employees? Plus with all those recessions, no matter how well the team and company is doing, people are too afraid to take time off. At least when you put "limits" on, people are more likely to use them.
