I was happiest at a place where I was either paid 70% of the billed hours (client pays $100 per hour, I get $70, company get $30) with the company doing weekly paycheck (withholding the taxes, W-2, and handling the health insurance & 401k payments), or 90/10 split on a 1090 (but paid long before the client paid). I went with the 70% because I was a bit scarred of mucking up.

It is amazing how enthusiastic you can be in hour 50 with that situation. I frankly think its unhealthy but at least there was a pain point for requiring it and that pain ($) also benefited me.
