No, that's not how it should work, I don't care where you live. If you're a 
contractor, then it's okay to provide no benefits, but if you're on a W-2, then 
I think it's fair to expect some benefit of being a full-time employee (and 
barred from seeking other work, I presume). 

I'd love to play a game of "guess what company made you the offer", but that 
would probably get negative very quickly and might get mean. Regardless, I've 
already privately assembled a list likely possibilities, just for my own 
enjoyment :). 

I don't know too many people that would be in a position to accept a job with 
the parameters you stated.

Subject: remote DBA job - pros and cons.


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.  Well I am in no position to accept this . but still 
would like to know if this is how it works. 


Thanks .

-Prasad
