Short observation….
by Jesse on Jun.30, 2008, under Consulting
The difference between consulting and contracting.
Contractors are there to perform a task.
Consultants are there to solve a problem.
Now there are Consultants who perform contracting work – it’s the way we stay in business when there isn’t consulting work to be done. (What I’m doing now)
I prefer consulting.

+1, consulting is more fun, but contracting pays the bills a lot of the time.

Yeah – my wife tells me I have an overdeveloped “White-Knight Complex” I love to be the guy who swoops in and saves the day.
Got to admit it’s a great feeling when (on the rare occasion) it works that way.
Usually it’s like me last week, beating my head against the wall with a problem that shouldn’t be, but is, and after a week of troubleshooting the SAC sends me a primus case telling me it’s a known issue with that firmware….
