I've been approached about being an expert consultant. Has anyone done this before? I'm interested to hear people's experience.

It's basically the new path for consultants that the firm does not believe will turn into sales driven directors.

If you recognize that - there is no downside.

I would disregard any empty promises about how experts will get more money for training etc. That's all crap

What specific questions do you have?

Haven’t heard much about it, but sounds like a cool opportunity.

Expert consultant for which company?? I've heard mixed reviews on job role and comp structure

My dream job.

How do you manage your money?

I only bring in a little over $2,600 a month. After paying all my expenses, I get to put away $500 a month in savings but don’t have much wiggle room for anything else, including going out money.

I’m very privileged to have a significant inheritance and zero debt of any kind. I really wonder how my peers who have student loans, car payments, and even children manage to pay their bills and live so comfortably. Please share if this is you!
