Is there a future for 1099 consultants, or is it just me???
Hi Consultants of Reddit! I have been a 1099 guy for just over 20 years now and am seeing the slowest market in over 10 years. I do technical strategic sourcing, subbing out to boutique firms as well as the big strategy firms and the occasional interim CPO role. I'm in my early 60's with plenty of gas in the tank. Would like to work a few more years, but financially ok to pack it in. Do you folks see a future in 1099 work? I don't see any realistic opportunity to transition to W-2 roles at my age and having not seen a W-2 since 2005. Interested in some thoughts!!
