But do you want to work on projects that you already expect to fail? Money isn't everything, seeing your work in action and how it improved the organization or the life of others is much more rewarding imo.
- GiorgioG 5y agoOnce you've started an engagement, you probably shouldn't up and quit because you disagree with a decision. As a consultant there's only so much you can do.

Money isn't everything, seeing your work in action and how it improved the organization or the life of others is much more rewarding imo. 100% this. Doing a career retrospective as a long time consultant was very sobering: lots of 404s.
- jokethrowaway 5y agoNo, I prefer the projects I work on to succeed - but not because I enjoy seeing my previous projects succeed. Merely because I hope I can use them to demonstrate success in future gigs. I'm more than happy to forget the nth API or crappy frontend I had to work on to buy my house.
