1099 you are not an employee, you are a vendor. Terms are
per-contract. If you have no history with the company to provide
confidence in their accounts-payable, you can propose faster payment,
but net 30 with multiple billings in a month is actually pretty decent
terms.
When I was doing consulting I used to inflate my rates by about 10%
and then offer a 10% discount for payment within 10 business days, but
it doesn't sound like you have that option here.
