question about consultant position

hi guys,
Sorry, it's off the topic question.
If you get hired as a consultant "senior sql developer", then before you
accept the offer, what kind of important questions you must ask? I'm just
asking because I never work as a consultant before.
thanks for helpCalling someone a "sql developer" implies that you would be a contractor
rather than a consultant. For tax purposes, you will want to know if you
would be working as a 1099 or W2. What would be the scope of your duties; in
other words, why exactly are they wanting to hire you? Agree in advance
about how many hours per w you would be working and and how / when you
would be paid. During the interview, if you get a bad vibe or they seem
evasive about any of your questions, then pass them over.

AMERICAN tax forms
I pay Canadian taxes so I had no idea what these were either,
but I made an educated guess from the context.
