I was laid off recently from a startup company that is experiencing the
usual pains. My boss has said she would like to have me back on a
contract basis, once they actually get some customers. I'm keeping an open
mind to this possibility, while continuing to search in a lifeless market.
Has anyone had this experience of going back to work on contract for a
company where you were previously full-time? How does it change your
relationships with your (remaining) coworkers and your supervisors? How
do you determine a fair rate? Any pitfalls to watch out for?
