I'll add this, my stepson is a web designer, worked for himself doing not too bad but not brill, along came an up and coming company, got him to do a couple of things, liked what he did and got a lot of work based on it, convinced him to go with them which he did, they were not web savvy they just pulled in the work, when they screwed up he got the blame!! not his fault+ he had to manage other guys doing I T work, he worked out his salary +35 percent thinking that it would cover him if he had stayed on his own, its the worst move he could have done, he's now looking for another job,the time he lost building his own contacts has gone awol, so much for head hunting!! beware
