Martin Owens :inkscape:Sometimes companies ask me to meet with them, to advise them on Inkscape, or SVG and maybe they have questions about contributing to Inkscape.I always charge an upfront fee.I can't have my advice clouded by the prospect that *maybe* I'll get work, or maybe the project will make sense to use Inskcape. I need to be able to advise that you hire someone else in the community who has the right skills or is nearer physically. Or advise you don't use Inkscape at all.<a href="https://floss.social/tags/contracting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#contracting</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/business" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#business</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#foss</a>

AI6YR BenFreelancing/self employment tip (for newbies): W2 wage is not the same as 1099 pay, due to self employment tax/Medicare/SS. $1/hour W2 is not $1 if paid on a 1099 (same rate on a 1099 would be a pay cut).
