W2 and see the 2.5 Quick Rates Guide.  What salary do you expect? 120k to 130k/yr. and see the 2.5 Quick Rates Guide.  When do you expect to be paid? Weekly or biweekly and weekly payers will be given preference.  Will you do a face-to-face interview? Yes, but I prefer a Skype or equivalent interview because gas is so expensive and time is so valuable.  Is a phone interview required? Yes.  Will you do multiple interviews? Yes, but no more than 2.  Will you do technical assessment interviews, which seek to determine if your skills will meet the client’s needs? Yes.  Will you interview with multiple people at a given company? Yes, but no more than 2.  Will you take a contract job? Yes.  Will you take a permanent job? Yes, but I look at contract jobs first since the hiring process is faster.  Will you take a technical exam? 85 tests taken and passed.  Do you require a contract end date in the contract? Yes.  Do you require severance pay? Yes. If the contract is terminated by you/your client before the contract end date, you, the paying agency, will pay me an amount equal to one week of salary in addition to my hourly wages and included in my last paycheck.
