I don’t know about investment banking, but my very good friend (who is also my personal and companies’ accountant), is a partner at a firm that does a lot of consulting in addition to accounting stuff. I suppose it depends what you would like to be consulting about, really.

If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
