Isn't consulting still working on the how and not the why, just a different way to be paid?

- ryandrake 9y agoYea. Instead of a boss, you have a client. Different side of the same coin. For every true "why" job out there, there are 100 "how" jobs.
- reboog711 9y agoI've been consulting for 17 years... Even though the company is just me, I approach it as a business and do a mix of hourly projects and fixed fee projects. At any given time I have 1-3 projects going on at once. What I work on depends primarily on the client. With some clients it is all about the 'why' and we do real business analysis. These are massively rewarding. Other clients treat me like someone who "Shovels poop for money" and just want me to do whatever they say. These are not as rewarding--but are often profitable.
