New bowl member- advice for independent consultant to freelance at big agencies?

I launched a marketing and strategy consultancy almost a year ago and would like to plug into more consulting companies in contract opportunities. I came from the marketing agency world so not as fluent in getting into this space. Would appreciate any thoughts or ideas. Thanks!

I'm reading up on Scott Galloway's take that "Boring is sexy." Basically, big sexy job titles and pursuits are highly competitive, so those who chase them earn less money and encounter greater obstacles. Boring ideas, jobs and industries have a much greater chance of earning you more money.
If I were to apply this thinking to the creative side of the ad world, what's the answer? Pharma and B2B? Leave the industry?

Over the last 2 months he's come to me with 2 re-negotiations, both lower than the original. I've countered saying I'll accept a lower bonus structure if my base is raised. Not sure who else in the company is involved/aware - he's my only point of contact. I'm 6 mths into the job and enjoy it, but this is a major red flag. Should I find a new job or hold my ground and see what happens?

I’m a department head and need to frequently interact with a male head of a different department. When he’s busy and stressed he can be quite rude, but only to our female staff. No one does anything about this because he brings in a lot of business. Today he was rude to me to the point where I’m really upset and I’m not generally sensitive. He basically reduced me to a low level nobody. Not sure how to handle. It’s a small company. Advice?
