I can not be scared off .. just finding out what is my exact situation and what is best to do .. I have an abn and am registered for gst. I get my tax payed to me, have to fill out a bas every 3 months. I give them a Invoice every two weeks, they put the money in to my account. I can not remember what it is the contract for insurance, I can back and look .. as I am just sitting at a desk all day, I am not sure much about insurance, as I am not likely to have any problems. I am pretty sure in the contract they own the intellectual property. There are about another 20 programmers here, so it is a long term position.
I am currently on a trial period .. which was set up a contract position. I have the option of going as a full time employee or staying a contractor, but I have a bit over another month before the trial finishes and I need to fix up for the other contract or being an employee .. hence trying to find out the best thing to do now.
once the trial period is over I would like to look at borrowing money to buy my first investment property. I have not been able to compare what I will be offered, but I am assuming I get more money in my pocket from being contractor, I do not get super or such .. but as I am young, I do not care, nor want to relie on it.
