Hello Hacker News!<p>I have a question about a most unusual recruiting practice I just encountered that is completely different from what I have experienced in the past two years.<p>So basically, the recruiter contacts me on LinkedIn with an offer and there was nothing unusual about that.<p>The unusual part was that it is a long-term contract job where I work as a consultant, with the recruiter helping me find clients. I was offerred to either incorporate my own corporation or I could get a W2 as an employee of their company and they would take out a flat fee from what sounded like a very good up-front amount of cash (but the recruiter was clear that this was because I had to pay for my own benefits and such).<p>I haven't seen official documents yet and will obviously pour over them and talk to people I know who have ran their own businesses, but in everybody's experience, is there some sort of tricky catch I'm missing here?<p>Thank you!
