    When I was getting started I think I adapted one from Nolo, and that was fine for my needs. You could ask them (the client) to supply one and adjust it as you like.

    I second the recommendation above. You shouldn't be paying UI or workers comp AFAIK, but yes to B&O tax and probably licensing fees both to Washington and Seattle. I'd recommend ha…

    Neat idea. I didn't know it was taboo to be open to new offers, I assumed everyone was open to new offers. Feedback: what's the $ figure? If I were listed here I doubt I'd want to …

    I would definitely stop working immediately and start lining up other work. If you can't get them to pay out what they already owe you, get in touch with whatever government agency…

    Yes. What would he do? No idea. That's why I miss him.

    Edit since I just re-read the parent comment and might have misunderstood: I don't distinguish between tech and other fields in this regard. I think it's an issue in all fields.

    That's been my observation too. In tech, this kind of paranoid micro-management is a great (inverse) indicator for whether someone's used to working with talented people. If I were…

    Can you provide a source for that? I'm having trouble finding any support for the use of "matron" in the way you describe.

    I'm sorry, I should have noticed you were talking about not owning it. I agree with the point that low interest rates mean higher prices, of course.

    I don't know what to tell you, except that the monthly payment on a 1.2mm loan at 1% for 30 years (insert your loan terms here) is 3.86k, not 1k. Edit: put another way, if you pay …
