How much should you get paid by the hourly for doing IT Support working only 1 day out of the week?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

The pros of working as a contractor are that you're not bound by any conflict of interest or conflict of commitment issues, while you may be asked to sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) there should be no issues of non-competition, you get to set and change your rates as you find more work with higher-paying clients, you get to deduct your contract-work related expenses as well as e.g. expenses relating to marketing your services, equipment expenses, mileage to/from client locations, etc.
The cons are mainly that the customer can terminate the contract usually with little or no notice and for any or no reason (however, they could also fire you as an employee), and that you'd be responsible for paying the employer side of social security as well as the employee side. Make sure to figure that extra cost into your pricing.
Good luck.

The accepted nominal number of hours for a full time position is 2000 per year. This assumes 40 hours/week and 50 weeks per year (2 weeks off). The number is not exact, but is a useful approximation.
Nice reply.
Just a question, how do you get the 2000 hours equation?
Thanks @opher !
