    Do you provide for your pension and insurances ?

    I have an LTD (or kind of equivalent, being based in Belgium) and as a freelance I bill many expenses to my company. I am now in a gig that pays 30% less than my previous one and so I had to cut some expenses. I wonder what kind of expenses other fellow contractors do bill to their companies...

    Contracting without an agency

    This was one of my doubts because invoicing with my own company may let me look like I am an employee although I am the one doing all the work (invoice included). How would you differentiate in this case ? Working extra hours ? ...may not be the best option tough.

    Firewall configuration baseline - any suggested tool ?

    You rock! We have a sort-of-centralized change management, and my team do review and approve all RFCs but what we miss on FW policy is a baseline as a reference to avoid duplicates. We end up running in circles and asking HTML exports from BigIP configuration - which goes under SLA - and then...
