One thing to remember...no benefits..
  • No health insurance
  • No paid vacation
  • No sick pay
  • No pension
  • Self Employment taxes (that your employer normally pays)
  • etc.

    So, 100K for them is NOT equal to a salary of 100K as an employee. All of the benefits that so many take for granted actually cost a LOT of money. Benefits alone could effectively reduce that by 20-30% or more.
