Oh totally. You have to view consulting like running a business and be constantly looking for new clients, there is no job security at all. But if you are decent with marketing and selective with your clients it can be super fun and rewarding.

It's also one of the least risky paths to starting a business if that's your thing. I ended up building a consulting agency out of it (https://startopsgroup.com) so it has definitely served me well.
