Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
This is in the "dream" thread for a reason
My wife and I each work for a mega corp. I am an engineer and she is an HR consultant for a megacorp (which sells her services for her).
My wife's fiscal year is closing and her revenue numbers just came out- she pulls in 480k+ for her company, and she makes a fraction of that. Over 10% of that revenue, but not by much IMO.
Early in her career she thought she might try being a consultant towards end of her career.
My questions are this- if you ever changed from being a regular employee to being a consultant (or a spouse/ SO did), what drove the change, and what factors would you consider for making the change?
Right now I carry the benefits, and we have twin 2 year olds.
Wife sets her own schedule (except for group meetings) and generally likes her job.
It is clear I will retire first- both of us are in mid 30's and I might retire 10 years before wife does.
I see dollar signs, she is clearly not ready to be a consultant now or even next year, but if she were to make the transition, what issues would we want to consider?
It's more of a hypothetical right now, just asking because I am bored at w*rk
