Some comments and questions as well here (total noobie): 1) I can't comment on the viability of getting great clients by going big consulting firms, but it feels quite indirect. And probably can't expand developing experience as noted. 2) Seems very ideal and in fact something I'm trying to pursue right now, but I suffer from the classic chicken-egg problem where I can't get clients without having prior clients. 3) Seems more like a natural extension once you grow your network enough 4) Sweet spot. I'd love to find a small consultancy, you'd get the best of both worlds, steady flow of clients, but nearly the same flexibility as being an independent consultant. Are there resources to finding those unicorn consultancies? I'm doing mostly Rails/full-stack work, but most consultancies seem to be either local or not that flexible with part-time/remote
