Bay Area IT Consultants mailing list

There is an Yahoo Groups mailing list for Bay Area IT Consultants (baitc).

The list is for discussion of topics related to IT contracting -- finding new contracts, negotiation tactics, agency issues, buying health insurance, tax issues, and so on.

We are growing rapidly, and our mission is to help each other make the most of our careers and to help each other find new contracts. We're focused on the San Francisco Bay Area but any IT Consultant can join.
