Exactly, you might want to be the consultant

I might, but there's two parts to that: #1 having a security mindset and security knowledge and #2 successfully branding yourself as a trustworthy security consultant.

I'm honestly not all that sure how you become the guy who an executive who knows nothing about security feels comfortable hiring. I'm also fairly sure that being good at #2 is somewhat orthogonal to being good at #1.

go to conferences, develop your charisma, get older, know people
