Frankly, that doesn't even sound like a legal arrangement. As you would be paid hourly, and as an employee (W2) I believe that federal law required benefits provided for anything over 30 hrs per week. Plus that fact that $33 per hour is extremely low for a DBA. You can't even get SQL server DBA's for that. ;) Jared On Jan 14, 2008 3:34 PM, Prasad <p4cldba@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > All, > > recently I am being offered a remote support DBA job and the hiring > company is asking me to quit my current regular position and work with them > for 33$/hr on W-2 with no benefits.
