Have you factored in health insurance?

Yeah

What’s your plan afterwards ? Room to grow and expand work at this client ? Would it breach any non compete agreement ?

Can be very lucrative and great if you have a good relationship with the client. Can also be tough to negotiate anything and always get paid on time when you don’t have the backing of your employer.

Yeah, expand work with client. My current role won’t be promotion at least for a year and also no raise this year.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
