Hi all,
To clarify my obtuse writing: my friend quit working for the
consulting firm on Friday so she could begin her business as an
independent. Her client is the same firm that her consulting firm had
a contract with. In essence, her client project leader wanted her to
do the work (HTML Help, Winhelp, cool stuff), not just another body
from the consulting firm.

So, consulting firm waived their "do not hire/contract" agreement with
the client (usually, the consulting firm has an agreement with its
clients that the client won't try to hire or side-contract with the
consulting firm's employees). The problem child in this picture is the
client's bean counters.

My friend's in the midst of setting up the contract between her & her
client.

On another note: The client wants fixed bid, she wants time/materials
bid. Thoughts/ammunition? Also, wasn't there an STC Intercom article
about this?

Muchas gracias, mis amigos!
