I plan to retire from my full time job in three years and am thinking about consulting for a year or two after. Any suggestions or advice about how to find consulting jobs?
Thanks to everyone who has responded so far. I have heard that consulting is a demanding (and often thankless) job, but the idea of having something that you have some control over and knowing that there is a time limit, seems appealing. How are the specific expectations and job responsibilities handled - I'm thinking a contract will be involved, but is that something I create, or the company I would be consulting for? Also, any ballpark on what I should expect in terms of pay?
That was true for me. Much harder.Depending on your field, finding good paying clients may be harder than actually doing the consulting.
