I have so much respect for people who know what they want and can execute on it, despite the financial implications of doing so in cases where it carries financial risk. It inspires others to clearly know one’s self-worth, desires, and agency. > But I could not fit into the same old Slack chat + Zoom meetings + SCRUM + daily report + doing something that you feel it has no purpose in the real world for 8 hours a day madness that consulting work needs. So I said "no, I'm sorry, I'd like to continue building my apps".

It's strange that I have the opposite feeling while consulting. I work for a "big tech" company and do consulting work on the side, and it's the former that has all of the Slack/Zoom/Agile/meaningless nonsense -- with consulting I feel as though I'm actually solving a problem for a business in a meaningful way. I guess all consulting gigs aren't created equal - I guess I've managed to avoid the bad ones so far.
