Unlike full-time employees, contractors are responsible for their own taxes, benefits, and professional development. You'll often work remotely and may need to proactively communicate with client teams to ensure alignment on project goals and deliverables. Building strong client relationships and demonstrating reliability can lead to repeat business and referrals.
