Government consulting (state and Local gov’t). It’s not a standard 9-5, but I work remotely and only travel once every other month or so. I log on around 8:30, go to the gym from noon - 1:00, and then log off at 5:00. Sometimes I need to log back on after dinner, but that’s not common.

It took a little while to get to that salary (10 YOE), but I’m happy with my life!

A lot of consulting firms do government consulting! Mostly Federal, so if you’re based in Washington DC that’s a huge advantage. Look into the big four as well as defense contractors like Booz Allen

I have my own consulting firm - me + assistant; make well over $150k.

D4 - not really sure what you mean by what did you do to start your own. For your other questions: I consult on regulatory compliance, and I did work at B4 at one point, but went to another firm for several years in between leaving B4 and starting my own firm. I had 15 years experience and multiple applicable advanced degrees before starting on my own, and I have a very good network, which is key. Be very careful about starting a firm if you're planning to poach a client - it's absolutely going to be against the terms of your employment agreement.

HP1 - Yes, I usually require a retainer in my contracts, and only begin work with a signed contract in hand. For companies that I had a relationship with already, I have begun work before receiving the retainer. Most of my work is hourly with estimates and assumptions given - most clients provide me with incomplete information, which is why I don't guarantee work within the provided estimate, but I am careful to stick to the range provided in billing if none of the assumptions were untrue. I bill monthly whether a project is completed or not, and most do take a few months to complete because of rounds of review/feedback from the client on deliverables.

I have a team 😎

With equity, bonuses, and salary I will make 525k+ as a Program Manager. Depending on the customer, I typically work up to 30 hours a week.

The worst you can hear is no. Ask anyway.

I make over $200k and manage a small highly skilled team of technical SMEs for the client, It’s a multi vendor team so I have to be on my toes but the hours are typical 9-5.

I used to work at the Quality Learing Center but that opportunity ended, so I moved to California and I do Hospice out of a building with 67 other home hospice companies and 6 figure cars in the parking lot.
