SAC Consultant here. Work on a consulting company.

Freelance is gonna be pretty rare in my experience. The people who are good have enough money being shoveled at them by the people who are willing to pay top dollar that free-lancing isn’t necessary. Do know some people who have started their own consulting businesses, but they peeled off from existing big4 firms, wouldn’t call them freelancers

Interested in things specific to ESV digital transformation:

-Are most groups traveling right now, or stuck at home? Or is it hybrid?
-Avg length of project (e.g. 3 months?) as well as avg hrs worked per week (including travel, pitching/dev, and other nonchargeables)
