This sounds like my ideal job lol

Op what type of coding do you do and what was your degree in?

I do Python and SQL, and stuff involving the cloud one way or another. Studied business but pivoted into this space by getting into Business Intelligence (engineering)

So you’re in the BI practice? What company if you don’t mind sharing? Also how difficult is the work?

Can you get more into the analysis/modeling? Building the statistical models + visualizations is the fun part!

Yeah that's what I'm thinking of doing as a backup to my first plan. Are you in Lighthouse by any chance?

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
