Hi guys,
I don't think Michael is eternally condemning consulting. He's just
had a go at it and would like to get back into a more stable routine.
Plus it's a bit of an eye-catcher to say 'consulting sucks' and it
clearly defines his short-term career goals. Yes, perhaps it is a
brassy thing to do, but with his experience and 'name' he can get away
with it. I think this is a dead thread, although I would love to hear
the pro's and con's of both contract and permanent work in the CF/Web
industry.
Different strokes for different folks. I'd love to give consulting a
go, but I have neither the experience nor the access to the market for
it. But I'm working on that. :-D
Now for something a bit different...I'm curious about very specific
industry wage surveys. My criteria, in order of most important to
least
Region: Canada > Ontario > Central Ontario
Profession: Web Developer > Web Master > ColdFusion Developer & Flash
Industry: Non-profit > Conservation
Education: College Diploma
If anyone knows a source where I can snoop out this info, or can give
me insight into their situation, it would really help me in my next
negotiation. Anyone familiar with my situation knows I need all the
help I can get! :)

Consulting Rocks.
Yes, that's a statement but one I have to make. With a wife, 2
kids and community responsibilities, going the consulting route is the
BEST
thing I have done in my career plus.
I wouldn't want people getting steered off the right track [the
consulting
track].
Just like Boston has better baseball than NY, we have better software
company's too.
Ever consider moving?
Michael, best of luck.
