Oh, I know. I intend to broach the subject relatively soon, but it seems like a good way to get myself on some peoples' shitlists.

Advertising jobs like that is a pretty good way to get on the IRS's shitlist. Probably not YOU, personally, but the company you work for. Seriously, you cannot specify a shift or schedule for a 1099 contractor.

Source? That seems extremely restrictive and ridiculous.

the fuckin' IRS posted:

Under common-law rules, anyone who performs services for you is your employee if you can control what will be done and how it will be done. This is so even when you give the employee freedom of action. What matters is that you have the right to control the details of how the services are performed.

Example: Donna Lee is a salesperson employed on a full-time basis by Bob Blue, an auto dealer. She works 6 days a week, and is on duty in Bob's showroom on certain assigned days and times. She appraises trade-ins, but her appraisals are subject to the sales manager's approval. Lists of prospective customers belong to the dealer. She has to develop leads and report results to the sales manager. Because of her experience, she requires only minimal assistance in closing and financing sales and in other phases of her work. She is paid a commission and is eligible for prizes and bonuses offered by Bob. Bob also pays the cost of health insurance and group-term life insurance for Donna. Donna is an employee of Bob Blue.

Emphasis mine.

the IRS again posted:

If an employer-employee relationship exists (regardless of what the relationship is called), you are not an independent contractor and your earnings are generally not subject to Medicare and Social Security Taxes for Self-Employed.

edit: I see you have edited your post. That is very smart. edit2: errr, you really should remove any language alluding to "contract" pay.

Sprint barely used the poo poo (according to them) and they're turned it off completely now.

This thread isn't just for IT, right? This is probably a long-shot but why not?

My experience: Some layout work with Cadence; lots of circuit-level design for classes and for fun; lots of semiconductor/quantum physics coursework; cleanroom and fabrication experience (mainly Si, some GaAs); 8 years working in a materials lab with SEMs, XRD, XRF, FTIR, Raman, etc. I have a master's degree in electrical engineering and I am in the PhD program now.

What I'm looking for: 3-8 month internship in device engineering, preferably memory or storage related.

Where I live: USA

Where I'm looking: Anywhere, preferably outside of the US.

When I can start: Ideally June 2012, but this is very flexible.

Can be reached via: pm or request for other contact info in thread.
