I make $125-150/hr. I work at least 40 hrs a week and on average 10-15 hrs. a week overtime at my primary gig. I also do gigs on the side usually 5-15 hrs a week. I get paid the same rate for over time. Contracts are usually 6 mo to over a year. I have been on my existing contract for almost two years. I also spend about 2 hrs every day trying to keep my skills current.
I do not get benefits, vacation days, sick days, time off, holidays, insurance, life insurance, or job security. But in the end the rate of pay far outweighs the benefits of W-2 and I absolutely love being paid for every hour I work.
