I've been working as a consultant for a number of years and I think the biggest difference is the inconsistent salary. As I recall there was a recent poll someone posted on HN and that was the main reason people don't go into consulting. Consulting also suits a certain type of person because it's a hustling game. You can always make more, but that means there's no light to flip off at 5pm.
- AdrianRossouw 11y agoI found that switching to consulting, and charging a day rate is the first time that it finally clicked for me that I need to stop after 8 hours. by working longer hours, i was reducing the value of my time. I was also reducing the value I provided in those hours. So it ended up giving me more balance than working a salary job.
