## What Content Lead pays in New York

### Against the United States rate

The typical rate in New York is $165 an hour against $150 nationally: **+10%**. Tasks that are remote pay the national rate for the company's location, so a remote task can pay more than a local one.

## Working on the side in New York

What to check before you take a task next to a full-time job. Orientation only; none of it is legal or tax advice.

Before you start

- Read the outside-work and conflict-of-interest clauses in your employment contract.

- Check for a non-compete or a duty to disclose side income to your employer.

- As a contractor you are usually responsible for your own income tax and social contributions; a local accountant can size the amounts.

Your recruiter walks through these points with you before you accept a task. [Read the guides](https://deftridge.com/guides/)
