Hello All, I'm a Product Management Director with 20 years of experience. I have a start-up company interested in hiring me for 1099-MISC for ~10hrs a week at first. I'm trying to figure out what I should charge. I am a US citizen, so there are no immigration problems here. They want to hire me full-time, but since I have several side hustles and whatnot, they want to do a trial period at first, starting off slow and ramping up with *maybe* a full hire in 4 months or so when they hit certain metrics and can do another series raise, and of course, if we like each other. I currently have a full-time W2 job. So I have benefits, but I know I’ll also need to pay FICA and social security. I’m a noob at this and stayed away from 1099 work in the past, so I would love some advice on what’s reasonable and fair but not cheap. I have 20 years of Product Management experience. I'm very good at what I do. I have direct experience in their problem areas. However, I don't need to charge them to the point of a nosebleed. I'd want a great salary if I went FT, especially if I fix their problems. But just want enough to get my current salary up to a better wage. My current TC is $185, and I'm underpaid currently ( pathetic story here as to why) and ran into this company while job hunting. So this salary supplement is something I want. Thoughts? #productmanager #product #pm
What’s the story behind your TC. Just curious as most people with 3+ YOE make more than that
