I have the opportunity to work on a TW contract in Canada (I am Canadian)
but have never done contract work before. I'd be grateful if anyone
could tell me
1) what are the going contract rates? Is there a difference between
charging on an hourly basis vs on a weekly basis?
2) what things should I watch out for--such as who should pay for what,
for example?
Thank you.
