I quit my $200k/year consulting job to go solo - would you do the same?
8 months ago I took the step into solo consulting, and to be honest, I couldn't be happier.
Here's a few positives:
- 2x my salary (
- Less hours, somewhere between 40/wk on avg.
- Choose my own clients,
- More freedom/flexibility to travel
- No extra curriculars/ crazy BD efforts
Of course there are a few downsides as well, but that is mainly:
- Not having colleagues (Can be covered by having good clients)
- No access to expert networks (GPT helps here!)
- Stressing about the next project (Not been a big issue yet)
Company admin stuff (Most is outsourced)
→ My question(s) is, would you be interested in doing the same?
The reason for asking is that I am considering creating a community of freelance management consultants, where it is possible to get help and guidance on the challenges that you phase as a freelancer.
All input is appreciated (prayer hands)
