Hey folks, wanted to understand a couple of things from experienced folks here -

1. What does freelance consulting look like?
2. How to start working in freelance consulting(shadowing/independent projects for free/volunteering etc.)?
3. Are there any hard barriers to entry(YoE, MBA, T1 grad for example)?
4. What platforms should one use to obtain projects that pay decently well - 2-3 hours daily leading to ~30k earnings monthly? If this is an unrealistic expectation, how does the payscale build over time?
5. Any other insights/comments that would affect the decision to work on freelance consulting.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi everyone ,
I want to know if there are any freelancers out there or have knowledge of it ? I want to start freelancing and made an account on fiverr and upwork but I don’t know to start initially. Also, would leaving the job in the long run be fruitful for the sake feelancing as I see a lot of people make a lot more than corporate job. And last but not the least , I see a lot of people struggling to get money out of clients.

Advice about Freelancing

Software Engineer

Hi, Would love to know if anyone is doing freelancing full time or part time. Like how you folks started? How do you find clients regularly? Do you have indian clients or from US or Europe? Love to know more about this as I want to get started in the freelancing world.

Freelancing Advice

Really excited to do this! 

Here's a little bit about my career:

- I dropped out of college to build a design studio with 20+ people for 4 years before leaving that to start another studio.

- I’ve worked across most major startups in Bangalore (not including brand names here for anonymity)

- I’ve worked across brand identity design, UX/UI, social media marketing, ad films, animation/motion graphics, and 3D

Happy to answer questions about design, freelancing, starting an agency/studio, the design industry, etc.

I have been working in front end consulting for around 2 years now (first job) and am struggling to understand my options in terms of career paths and in the long term. 
A) Would love to know more about some career trajectories post consulting + some people who have inspired you whom I can check out on linkedin (in case grapevine allows for it).
B) How feasible is a pivot to industry post consulting?

Business Development Manager

If you are an over performer and doing great work at your company, I request you to also start working for yourself. You have no idea how much you can make just working directly for clients.

Product Freelancing?

Program Manager

29M , 7 yoe. Have a full time job plus running my own freelancing gig servicing multiple clients across the world

Not a techie. Earning 1.75cr a year AMA

So I am working at a startup for around a year now. Everyday I see, it feels, what am I really doing? Where is the life headed? 
    Doing bare minimum or doing your tasks and fucking off isn't enough. It's expected that we outgrow constantly, as if it's this work that we can always think about and nothing else. At the end, am wondering if it's still worth it?
    1 day it feels that let's just quit it! Next day I feel, okay, I do want the money. 

I ain't looking for suggestions here, just wanted to see if anyone else felt this way

Getting increasingly bored of work at startup

Been there, but money is very important especially for a middle class family, for most of us we are earning 5x more than our parents at least and have huge expectations from families to provide them with good life

Hey folks,
I want to dip my hand in freelancing.
My job is quite laid back and i have a lot of free time.

I have been grinding leetcode in my free time but I'm bored of it. So, I decided why not use this to expand my real working knowledge and earn some side income too.

Any experienced freelance person, please guide on how to start and where to. I know it takes a serious hustle to break the first client. But starting itself seems daunting to me.

Thanks for your time

If I work at Accenture, is it is possible for me to freelance for other clients?

Question for Accenture people

UX/UI Designer

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hi Guys,
I  am working as a software developer in Oracle( btech from old IIT) . Its been 2 years and I now want to switch to management consulting (preferable in MBB) to experience it so want to give MBA.

1. I did some research but I want to gain some information on the salary aspect of it. I heard that the salaries are not that high they would probably be in the same range that I am getting now. BUT, I want to know in the long run do consultants get more hikes compared to tech roles? 

2. I heard the wlb is pretty bad so is there some resource that I can study to know if thats the right suit for me since its a big risk I’ll be taking moving on to a different field. There are some good exit opportunities also I believe after MBB can someone tell more about it.

Would really appreciate some answers on this. Its on my head for a long time. Cheers!
