Thinking about exiting tech consulting to work as a contractor and build my own consulting firm. Has anyone tried this? What were major roadblocks?

My dad used to run tech consulting firm in India, so I’m familiar with how things work, and I also have the connections (and infrastructure) there to start an office without too many problems. However, I don’t know where to find clients. Would I just respond to smaller RFPs (in the $50-250K range) and go from there?

How to pivot into consulting with corporate operations experience?

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

How do you find ways to connect outside of church?
