I was doing the burn report and saw what my company is charging to the client and I’m getting 1/3 of that. Made me think maybe I should start independent consulting.. anyone have any insight on that?

That’s how it works. What insights are you looking for? Rates?

Not rates - more so how to find clients/market myself

If you don't know why they charge 3x what they pay you, I'm not sure business consulting should be your career.

Usually the company is taking on all the expenses. They have to pay other salaries like payroll, rent/mortgage, insurances, etc. They also need to make an income. There are a lot of headaches that come with owning a business.

I am defending an eviction for a client who has given possession of the property (as of Nov. 30). Plaintiff’s complaint has one claim – possession. They did request relief for attorney’s fees. NJT/Final Hearing commenced 10/27, was only 30 min and was therefore continued to 12/20. Plaintiff had counsel at that time but they are no longer represented.  I want to file something notifying Court that Plaintiff claim is now moot, making sure that judgment is not entered that hurts (cont'd)..

Hello!
I was wondering what kind of contractual or other barriers I might face if I apply for one of the big 4 while working on a project with them in my current company.
I am not too involved in the project but I was in a few meetings and went on a field trip with them as well.
The position that I am applying for is in a different team and city.
Will this considered “poaching” if the consulting firm hires me? Would they need to talk to my current employer?

Joined LTI recently in P3 band. However not allocated any project. Got a call from the resource management team to relocate, which I rejected upfront as I was promised a role in the location I am posted. It has been over 2 weeks since I am in bench. What shall be the next steps, shall I wait for some days or start looking for other jobs as getting a project looks difficult as there are minimalist responses.
