    More or less it's about 10:1 ratio

    Unless you're in the US and you need the health benefits, there's no reason to go full-time.

    Oh wait, there is if you're an IC and getting stock somehow (being first designer, or something like that)

    • In the U.S. Obamacare has made healthcare much more affordable in most states, not as much need for employee healthcare.utopian
    • That counts a lot. Many people try to hold a job in the US because of the benefits.
      Here in Europe we get a lot more cash in hand, i guess
