It's not so much what you make, it's what you get to keep!

On average, if you are a technical professional in government contracting you only get to keep less than half of the amount billed for your time. Obviously, your employer's customers must think you're worth more than you actually get to take home. You may think that becoming an independent contractor will net you more income. It certainly is tempting; that way you'll get to keep all of it, right? Wrong! As any independent contractor will tell you, between billable hours, contracting, negotiating, finding work, dealing with insurance, regulation and taxes, the average work week for an independent contractor is somewhere around 80 hours. So calculating in all that time, your hourly rate is half of what you bill. So not only are you stuck with working twice as hard for the same income, you also have no family and social life to boot.

So what am I, as a seasoned professional going to do to keep most of my income and still have a life?

In short, work for Envision Technical Services. ETS is comprised of high-end professionals, all of whom could be independent consultants, but who also want to maximize their income per billable hour. ETS is the perfect balance between income and family time. ETS provides all the things you would need if you set up your own business: health, dental, vision, long and short-term disability insurance, pre-tax deferments and 401K retirement plan. But, because you are a professional and do not need much supervision, we have no middle management infrastructure to pay for, and we are committed to keeping overhead at a bare minimum. The result is that you get to keep the lions share of what we bill our customers, and because of that you can get a higher salary at significantly less cost to the customer for someone with comparable skills. Not only does ETS provide you with more income, we also make you more competitive in the marketplace.

ETS does not hire just anyone. You must have a proven track record of professionalism, experience and the ability to work unsupervised. If you are risk averse or have difficulty dealing with interpersonal situations at work, ETS is not for you; but then, neither is independent consulting. But, if you're thinking "Why do I need an employer, I could do this on my own?" then why not apply at ETS. We think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
