Tech consulting: The big 4 are hiring like crazy so if you’re willing to come in as an A1 or maybe 2, and you at least have some relevant experience or skills that you can highlight in a resume/interview, get a referral and I really don’t see why not.

Like M1 said shoot your shot.

I’m contracting with a company in an admin role, but sometimes I’m asked to do projects that would normally be outsourced to a marketing or design company like designing a flyer for example. It’s not in my job description, but I have the skills to do this work and so why not ask me to do it? Is it out of the question to ask if I can be paid for that work under a separate fee as a consultant or something? Is that even possible?
