I love the wonderful value I bring to my clients 🥰

I love opening a beer at 9:45pm just in time for my phone's slack notification to ring off as my spine compresses, skin gets tight, splintering pain in my head and fight or flight adrenaline kicks in because I know it's my MDP and I'm going to get to spend the next several hours of the night on a deck instead of being a human with a beer and a recliner and maybe a book or friends or some other normy ish

Such a rush what's not to love

The end to end competence and confidence I get to build as it relates to proposing, planning, delivering, and explaining projects. Really like how consulting is more remote than other industries. People will take time to network, flexibility in sectors if you push for it — excellent exits. It’s solid.
