This is an interesting question. Is there any upside in partnering with a current employer? The business I've designed really is something I can be completely self-sufficient in. My employer doesn't provide any technical value. I don't have very deep pockets (yet) so that could limit me but the cost of operation is very low.
Just finished reading the unscripted series, but I'm following the terms of my contract which says I can't be employed or work somewhere else. (The amount I get paid is very low so this is likely something that isn't getting 'consideration' anyway and is likely NOT enforceable anyway). I informed my employer that I was about to be in breach of contract the morning after I filed my LLC/EIN numbers, built a website, and of course a working phone number that I run/control. Though he probably doesn't realize I'm already jumping through the hoops and am about to jump through more of the regulatory ones.
Can anyone give me any upside and what I should ask for in such a partnership? For context, the MSP I work at is small and rural. It isn't doing badly but we're all low paid and his rates are low for an MSP.
He countered for now and is offering to pay me mileage to just hold off on it for now. He's not 100% opposed to turning me into a contractor but it doesn't fit his vision for the company.
Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated. I don't plan on having any more employers but this guy is someone I'd still like to have a relationship with but he's making it a bit awkward. He knows a lot of people in the business community I'll be interacting with.
