Taking a job as an independent contractor can offer flexibility and potentially higher pay than traditional employment, but it also comes with responsibilities like managing your own taxes and benefits. Consider your financial stability, the nature of the work, and your long-term career goals before making a decision. If you thrive in a self-directed environment and can handle the uncertainties, it might be a good fit. However, if you prefer job security and benefits, traditional employment may be a better option.

Is independent contractor considered job offer?
An independent contractor is not considered a job offer in the traditional sense, as they are typically self-employed individuals who provide services to clients under a contract rather than as employees. While a job offer implies an employer-employee relationship with benefits and responsibilities, an independent contractor operates with more autonomy and is responsible for their own taxes and benefits. Therefore, while engaging an independent contractor involves a contractual agreement, it does not constitute a job offer.

A contractor service agreement is an agreement between a contractor and a person or group that this contractor wishes to do work for.

Should you buy tools for your contractor?
Any decent contractor should already have to tools he needs, or have factored them into the estimate. If a contractor starts asking you for new tools to do this or do that, I would be concerned that he didn't know what the job was when he bid for it. That would be like a mechanic asking you to buy him a ratchet because he never realized that a ratchet could be useful. But if you added on to the job after the initial estimate, and new tools are required for the new work you need done, then maybe you should either consider it an expense or bring in a second contractor to do that part of the job.
