Advice on Independent Consulting
Hey Folks,
It’s a question only I can answer for myself - however curious about the experience people have had with transitioning to independent consulting.
I’ve been with my current consulting firm for about 10 years - focused mainly on cyber security architecture, designs, engineering etc. Based out in Canada and making around $170K annually.
I’ve been offered a 1 year contract with an old colleague that has branched off into his own independent firm. The comp is more than double my salary. I have no idea why I am even thinking about it, but here I am.
Current job work life balance is decent, my team is decent, but lots of bullshit redtape, bullshit leadership etc. This offer, I will be doing almost the exact same work, but reporting to only my old colleague which I always enjoyed working with anyway.
How have you all made the transition and what pros and cons did you face during your experience?
Thanks in advance!
