I understand there's lots of consultants who are paid for giving an opinion in a fancy way, preferrably with slides or on a white board, but there's lots of different kinds of consulting. I've done a lot of it, and for me it usually consists of building a product for the customer, either on-site or remote, usually in close cooperation with the company's own employees. It is a job that is mostly interesting and often challenging, because you're thrown into a completely different project every so often, and are expected to get up to speed asap.
