Not being able to do fixed bid work basically says "I'm bad at estimating and don't know how to control scope creep". Exactly. Better to get that out up front, unless you really are good at estimating and know how to control scope creep. Many consultants are not, and are better off not getting a job than getting a job that will end up monopolizing their time for grossly insufficient money. If you are good at these things then fixed bids can be golden. You know what you're going to make, you know the time allotted, and surprises are few. But you better be sure about this.
