How is the job market and pay for technology consultants? Also, is it a fun role?

yeah telling dumber people that they are dumb nicely, while they're complete helpless, is surely fun if you're a narcissist. 😉

Tbh , I hate it. Been consulting past 5 years , did setup my own company, today i have 9 employees and i go home everyday hating world and most of all the customers. In general few of them are interested on your advice, most days they are like toddlers shiting their pants and you keep fixing their stuff with 0 gratitude. Only thing that keeps me going is the fact that i truly love and honor my team - if I'd quit , it would have negative impact on their lives. So heads up, be prepared - consulting needs extreme patience and most of the days it will suck , every once and then there are projects that fullfill your goals and needs and you will meet some truly amazing people a long the way but after a while you might get fatigued.

Good pay, Good market, fun depends on your client. (Some are awesome, some suck donkeyballs)

@Avimelekh sounds like a lot of stressful work, but still something new I'd be willing to try. Thanks!

@ItsNotMyFault it'll improve my social skills in that sense I guess

@Avimelekh dude it's not about gratitude.. that's what the money's for. If you give them advice and they don't follow it, consider it repeat business.

@segfault0xff There is a lot of money on world , but our time is somewhat limited . Whole reason why i started the company was that if i calculated how much my working hour was really worth. Lets say you work 5 days a week earning around 3000 Coins to be restef you need 8 hours of sleep add 8 hours of sleep , add daily chores which are mostly support your daily routine - it means most of us spend directly or indirectly 100+ hours a week inorder to keep the jobs yet we get paid for 40 or so. So I dont really care about money , i care about seeing changes and results - i get paid for these changes not for my advice that is not followed.

@Avimelekh you may be in the wrong field if that's the case.
