The hardest thing about going 1099
The hardest thing about going 1099 is not paperwork or negotiation or client work, it's dealing with ambiguity.
You're never sure if/when a gig will come through, whether you have the right schools or temperament to become a 1099, or if you can handle going back to W2 work if it came to that.
You want to move things forward and aren't sure what the obstacles are. Is an admin person on vacation? Did the PM change their mind?
The ambiguity is the hardest part. It can drive you crazy.
But if you can persist through it, you will be rewarded with a great 1099 career.
