I just quit my job...

[BrianD]

I just gave my 2-week notice and am moving out of the ISP world and into the consulting world. I really hope I am doing the right thing.

I need beer, and lots of it, right now.

Congrats!

[Draft Dodger]

cool!

[Fouts]

Good luck, Brian. It is much better to be your own boss, hope it works out for you.

[Raiders Army]

Good luck BrianD. At least this way, you'll have more time to play Werewolf games on FOFC!

What's the Over/Under on the number of weeks before you beg for your job back...

What's the Over/Under on the number of weeks before you beg for your job back...Do you ever contribute anything to this forum?

[BrianD]

Thanks for the good wishes. I'm actually not doing private consulting. I'll be working for a consulting company with a full consulting staff. I'm hoping to start off with network consulting, and then shift to project management and eventually department management. I want to be the guy that tells everyone else what to do rather than do it myself. :D

Good luck Brian. I moved from an inside computer job to a consulting position about eight years ago and feel like it really helped me to grow at a rate I never could have before.

I still enjoy the role of the doer more than the manager, but it gets a little harder every year to have the same passion to learn new technology, get re-certified, etc. Long hours, very high highs and some pretty low lows.

Get over yourself, your not that important...

[Dutch]

Good luck and keep us informed. Sounds pretty exciting to me. :)

Good luck man. Got to take those risks, even if they don't pan out. I certainly hope it does though ;).

I day dream about going into general IT consulting(network, OS, various apps) for myself. I'm young right now, don't need a ton of money, and have plenty of time to invest. So I figure if I could get something started now would be a great time. Management and I historically do not mix(the catalyst for this) and I have a pretty strong passion for my job.

But, I don't really know where to start :D.

Get over yourself, your not that important... *sigh*

How does a consultant not need to keep up with current technology? How do you get to tell people what to do if you don't know what is out there?
