In NJ the w2 contract rate is minimum $50+ (normally $60-65 W2 rate)for an 
experienced DBA. No benefits are given as per contract written by them. Some 
companies do offer health insurance group coverage at employee cost plus 401K 
option with no matching.
 
Artek is quite cheap in this respect. 
 
I hope it will give you some idea about NJ market.

haha yeah working in the Netherlands, here you don't even get a junior 1ste 
line service desk helper for that amount. Besides Working for home is a bit 
sucky. I did it and you lose the contact with college's and the drive to better 
your self. but if you still wanne do that, try looking on the dutch market 
rates fary between 70 and 85 euro's a hour and if you do it from home more like 
65 euro's a hour ( contractor of cource )

Frankly, that doesn't even sound like a legal arrangement.As you would be paid 
hourly, and as an employee (W2)  I believethat 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

company is asking me to quit my current regular position and work with them for
