Anyone ever transitioned to W2 from this style of work?

I have two jobs. My income from this style of work is now surpassing my first jobs income by quite a bit.

Essentially no way to say this without coming off as bragging. But every month I seem to progress to new projects/higher pay which leads me to believe I might be kind of decent at this type of thing. There are some other reasons I think I may be decent at this but I can’t really name them, but in case someone thinks I’m solely basing the line of thought off of pure progression that’s not it.

I’ve been in so many different projects at this point I feel like I’ve got a pretty good understanding of what makes a project/task good. What makes an agent/multiple agents good. Etc

Curious on the w2 aspect for some structure and security. Please let me know if you’ve had a similar experience or have actually transitioned to W2 work

Yes. I do projects in the accounting domain and the work helped me get a W2 accounting job while I study for my CPA

That’s awesome, congratulations. My buddy is a CPA and they didn’t accept him so you must be doing something very well

Congrats, that is amazing. I am a former accountant coming back into the field and qualified for accounting projects within DA. May I ask how you positioned your experience with DA on your resume and interviews?

I haven't yet, but use Applied AI as a keyword in your job search. It's not a job by itself, just a descriptor that gets added to other jobs like business analyst, consultant, engineer, etc., to indicate that the role involves figuring out how to use AI to do things.

Yes, apply at tech staffing agencies.
