Today's my last day as an employee at my job of 6 years. I'll become a consultant starting Monday so if they need me, it'll be hourly billing. I'm just reviewing my emails today and reassigning my regular responsibilities.

- csallen 16y agoMind if I ask where you'll be getting your customers (clients) from as a new consultant?
- chime 16y agoI'll be consulting for my current job itself. Voluntarily going from fixed salary to hourly consulting gig. No daily responsibility, fewer hours, much higher hourly pay. I'm pretty certain I'll end up being significantly more productive because I will get to pick my own projects and not have to deal with meetings, obligations, or personal issues with coworkers. I'm giving up a double-sized corner office at a growing company but I'm getting my time and desire to code back.
- gcb 16y agoYou are doing it wrong. Clients == meetings^2.
- chime 16y agoYes, but these will be billable meetings that will result in actual product. Previously, it was meetings that took away time from coding and was instead wasted dealing with typical office conflicts.
