It took a series of steps. I was an Oracle/DB2 DBA + ERP specialist when working in the big 4 space. I learned networking whilst still using my DBA skills. Worked for a number of systems integrators from which I picked up some direct consulting work and some sub-contract work. These days I focus on product line software engineering and embedded systems, mostly custom IoT design and deployment. I think that the key to being a successful consultant is to have specialist skills that the larger firms do not have. In my experience, competing with larger firms requires undercutting their rates. Clients who are only interested in paying as little as possible are not my favourites. |
