i’m always amused that the answer is always “work harder” and “do more shit”. meanwhile, in other consulting professions, people say “no”. why is this so difficult? the only remaining solid piece of advice here is to specialize. i can confirm this works.
- Clewza313 5y agoWere we reading the same story? There was a long section about how higher rates are much more important than hours worked, and how you want to move away from getting paid for hours billed (butt in seat) to value added (irrespective of time taken).
- b20000 5y agothe article mentions a lot of extra work and projects which will take half if not more of your time, to make a name for yourself. that is what my comment is about.
- b20000 5y agoalso, charging by project rather than by hour will only work if you know really well how much time something takes which can be very dangerous IMHO.
