...as to suggest to technical folks the possibility of consulting. Consulting positions are temporary but sometimes well paid.
Please feel free to reply or message me if you'd like some ideas and details.

1. I have contemplated starting a consulting business

Of late my job was on the line, so I started looking for other jobs and even considered the consulting route.

My problem is figuring out where to start, then getting your name out there.

I was informed last week that my position was safe, but I have question for how long. So I continue to look and continue to consider the consultant route.
