| beachbum | Posted – 6/27/2007 11:31:05 AM | show profile my 2 cents If I work at home, I find it easier to figure out how many hours a particular project will take me, add a few more hours just to be safe, and then come up with a $ amount for that project. Companies like that b/c they know exactly how much a project will cost and they can budget for it. If I work physically at a company, I prefer to get paid per hour and that's usually how they do it anyway. It's usually on a week to week or month to month basis, unless you sign up for longer via an agency. Hope that helped! |
