Once again, a job finds me....
Yesterday afternoon, I updated my resume on dice.com. I added the system administration work I've been doing at Day-VEST the past few months.
Later that day, I received a call from Sogeti USA about a short-term (6-week) Perl task for one of their clients in the Cincinnati area. I discussed it with the recruiter. They originally wanted me to do this as a 1099 gig (meaning I'd be on the hook for my own taxes). Having never worked like this -- all my work has been W-2 (in which taxes are taken out before I get paid) -- I had no idea how much a good going rate would be. So after discussing the details, I sent him a copy of my resume, and confirmed the W-2 rate that we decided on.
This afternoon, the recruiter called back. They want me to start a week from Monday.
In the meantime, I'll have to submit paperwork for a background check and a drug test.
