contractor/freelancer
I am going to take some side gigs on market analysis and investment consulting (focused on Asian market). Anyone can suggest if i shall sign an agreement or ... the employer is quite a good friend though. Well, working with a friend sometimes can be tricky....
You definitely want an agreement specifying time frame, fees and payment schedule, deliverables, expense reimbursement.
It can be a Letter Agreement or a more formal contract..
Also will be helpful to have a standard agreement to refer to as you take on additional clients.
