Employee Benefits for Searchers

by a searcher from Carleton College

If you are conducting your search as a full-time employee of your own search company, do you pay yourself employee benefits such as health insurance?  Or do you get your insurance through the ACA?  What about other benefits, such as life insurance or a 401K?

I use my Amex Platinum for one free year access to WeWork. WeWork members get access to a ton of great employee benefit programs to choose from that are pretty reasonable. Life insurance is available at a very low cost(https://www.policygenius.com), Retirement(SEP, IRA, etc) are easy to set up through TD ameritrade or other providers(speak to your accountant). I am the only employee of my company, at the moment, as everyone/thing else is outsourced! Hopefully this changes before my free year of WeWork is up.
