Is independent contracting right for you?
Running your own business works well for many people, but it’s not the right fit for everyone. Before you apply, take a minute to see how this work differs from W-2 employment. If you want flexibility and independence, it may be a great fit. If you prefer set schedules, guaranteed pay and employee benefits, a W-2 job may suit you better.
