As a software engineering consultant, be prepared for small/quick stints, some of them as short as 2 weeks.

You will not get time to analyse technical details deeply enough before presenting to clients. Focus on code quality is seldom lesser. Be prepared for a lot more talking than a product org. Be prepared for a lot more work and constant pressure of timelines.
