Blueprint for consulting riches — 9 Comments

  1. Hi James –
    When you work as a 1099/w2 contractor through a placement firm, and you accept a gig that requires travel…does the client typically cover the travel expenses or is the contractor expected to cover the travel expenses out of pocket?

    • Hi Bill,

      The client almost always pays for travel expenses (flight/mileage, hotel, meals). Usually you submit travel expenses to the placement firm who then bills the client. Sometimes you will have an “all inclusive” rate in which you will increase your rate to cover expenses instead of submitting a travel expense report, but I rarely see that option used. Of course a client will try and find a local resource, but if they can’t they know they will have to pay travel expenses to get someone from outside the local area. Hence it’s good to be in a high demand, low supply career like a BI architect!
