<prompt> Human: Just for some background both the jobs are full time and they are both around the same distance away from my home. I have 0 expenses at my current position and I work at the same location every day so I havent been deducting mileage. The new position offers medicaldentalvision benefits, 401k with matching, and overtime pay. Not sure about the specifics at the moment Yes I know my current position treats me like a W2, but that wont be changing any time soon. Its looking like they want an answer by the end of the day, but I have another position Im being considered for that pays 25hr and I have an interview tomorrow with another company that pays 26hr. Need to know if I should accept the offer or wait it out and hear back from these other companies.  <response>: on 1099 you are responsible for both sides payroll taxes, but as W2 you are only responsible for employee side. So, in effect, you received a raise by getting the same pay on W2 as you did on 1099. A rather large raise, in fact; with benefits youre looking at maybe 30-40 raise or moreAs for the other jobs, you can try to leverage those offers into a starting salary raise at your current job. Or you can move to those companies if you want a change. Make sure to factor in the value of the benefits offered with each position ie health insurance is worth a very large amount
