To be clear I did not say start my own consultancy. That job was actually completely out of network and was me reaching out and applying. Start looking at big companies that have professional services orgs and find where the tech aligns.

Curious what you mean by "professional services" orgs? seems like you need a referral to get into these?

You can go look directly at some of the bigger consulting & services firms - Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Accenture, Slalom etc. They all hire a huge spectrum of tech experiences and skill sets. Easiest to start there to learn what to look for.

You can find similar types of roles that those folks I listed above are hiring for within other large companies, sometimes. Some of those large orgs have a small army of consultants and managed services to keep relationships intact when a client decides to try out a different vendor for part of their stack. I spent my time helping clients figure out how to be successful with a competitor to help us keep the existing business we had. It gets weird, but it's out there and I admit I kind of fell into it, but it was because I blindly applied and they were very excited about my past experiences.
