Wow! What an amazing breadth of experience and knowledge. I have a couple of comments based upon my experiences of flitting between self-employed, contractor, consultant, employee over a couple of decades. Granted that my skill set is a small fraction of yours, yet I am seen to be rather eclectic as well. Ageism -- I have to mention this up front. As the years go by, this has been an increasingly big hurdle for me. Employers want young, eager, keen, naive and cheap. Basically you are expected to work 70+hours for 40 hour salary. Specialisation -- especially when contracting, the brief is for a specific domain and thus a small subset of your expertise. Having too much on your resume means that you are seen as a jack of all trades and a master of none. Managers' perceptions trump reality. Consulting -- so much of consulting is (a) confirming the managements pre-ordained decisions; and (b) being the scapegoat when it inevitably all goes wrong. And even (c) to implement unpopular decisions for which they don't want suffer the push-back. SME clients generally don't have the budget for getting the job done properly. Ok, enough of my cynical negativity. I think that you need to focus and tighten up your strategy. Perhaps clearly identify the exact type of companies you want to do work for and then determine where you can render the greatest value. Having done that, then you would pare down your resume to focus on the exact results and technologies that are applicable and leave off the rest. Having an existing B2B client base, I would be tempted to review other areas where you could deliver results for those clients. Yes, it is hard to break out of the pigeon hole that you have been consigned to, but at least those clients know that you deliver great work at competitive rates. Generally it is easier to win over people you know than when you are cold calling.
