"Gurus, Hired Guns and Warm Bodies" with Steven Barley

Please join us for a very relevant and topical discussion about the trend, especially in high-tech areas, to replace permanent employees with temporary workers and independent contractors to cut labor costs and enhance flexibility. While this discussion should be of interest to anyone working in high-tech, it's particularly relevant to engineers working as contractors or considering working as a contractor as well as managers who hire contractors for their project teams. Attendee's will learn about the opportunities and challenges they will face in a career as an independent contractor and about how the market for contractors really operates.
