>sure you're not just getting old? My experience is that once I got over 10+ years in experience in development people generally didn't want to hire me full-time, only consulting. I don't know. I don't know how to break into consulting but I want to do it. I've been through three IPOs in the last 11 years, and we didn't really hire consultants (except people out in the field to collect data sometimes, but that was contract employees), so I'm a bit out of the loop. I did everything wearing multiple hats, even going so far as to productionizing models I've made onto embedded, so there has been little reason to hire outside help.
