Tech consultants - where do you see the industry heading right now?
Seems like it'll be easier to hire tech talent since big tech isn't hiring as much. But are your projects slowing in this environment?

Amzn I am using tech consulting term liberally, including data science/ML consulting. Not just sap. Maybe I should've communicated that better.

Lol @ those distinguishing between "real tech" all I probably should've been more clear. By tech consulting I literally meant anything technology. From basic software implementation to actual software development, machine learning, or whatever. Open to hearing from all.

Same thoughts here. Just received an offer from Cisco and thinking the same. Not sure if Cisco is considered a big tech though…

Cisco is one of the biggest digital comms providers on the planet, yes they’re big tech.

Lots of tech talent came from engineering backgrounds, so even if not 1:1, should be easy to find a consulting role

It has ripple effects.

If your practice does Salesforce implementations and salesforce don’t sell new licenses , your practice will be slowed down. Same with Microsoft, AWS, GCP etc etc

Consulting mostly implements products created by tech. It’s not isolated

Economic is volatile at this point, even if company is performing well- they will reconsider mitigation steps such as hiring freeze, workforce reduction, bonus downscaling, cross- utilization, etc.
Most of the folks (atleast on work visas like myself) would rather stick to existing company and may not try to switch unless their company is in the process of laying off or signs of it in near future.
Tech consultants are required for clients and relatively easier to manage at these uncertain times as we are fixed fee/ time and effort and bound on timeframe- when compared to full time tech associates etc.

trust nobody in real tech is coming to be a "tech consultant" 💀

“Is this internet thing here to stay?”

Is tech consulting just implementation? What skills are needed other than project mgmt?

Business objects, functional business knowledge of the module you’re implementing, logical skills, knowing how to test, selling skills.

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.
