As someone who’s only lived in nyc and sf for my 20+ years working I’d agree. Nyc has so many industries- finance, banking, fashion, tech. There is such diversity and opportunity. While sf was way more tech centric in a lot of ways it was easier to find jobs here because there were a lot less applicants. But I think that’s changed after covid where so many tech companies started hiring remote

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?
