Many things you can do. Get into Angel investing, PWM. That’s all that comes to mind if you want to be a sole proprietor. Other than that you can run your own shop but you’re talking abt employees.

Hello all, I need one advice.
I am working as SAP consultant for 3.6 years in same company now. I am going to make my first switch in one of the big 4 in SAP only.
The thing is that I don't really enjoy working in SAP. It was handed over to me when I joined my current WITCH company. Now I have decided to switch to Salesforce tech. For which I have already finished the Admin beginner part.(while staying in NP)
Please advise me if I am on the right track.

Left consulting for a corporate job and it's much more challenging and technical. I like it so far and feel I am growing tons, but tbh sometimes it makes me feel I am dumb and realize how much "easier" consulting was as BSing could really work back there 😂…
