I just quit my job...
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. |

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

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.

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. |

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 . Last edited by jeff061 : 08-11-2005 at 07:58 PM. |

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?
