💡 Full audio: 'State of the consulting market'
|
A couple weeks ago, I gave a summary of Chad Oakley’s ‘Current State of the Job Market for Consultants’ Q&A hosted by Umbrex. The full audio is now available via the Umbrex podcast Unleashed, which by the way is a very good, perennial resource for timely and timeless interviews about thriving as a solo consultant. (600+ episodes! 🤯) ​ If you missed it, my original recap of Chad's talk is here. TLDR: Things seem shaky, but there are great angles of opportunity for us solos. ​ The included topics & timestamps are: ​ 02:50 Overview of Charles Aris and Chad Oakley’s Background 08:11: Market Overview and Impact of AI 11:28: Current Market Conditions and Consulting Services 16:08: Trends in Full-Time Roles and Interim Executive Hiring 22:49: Consulting Firm Hiring and AI Impact 28:00: The areas of decline and demand for consulting services 42:13: Path to Private Equity Operating Partner Roles 49:54: Impact of Government Consulting Contracts on the Market 52:24: Tips for Independent Consultants Seeking Full-Time Roles ​ s/o to Umbrex co-founder Will Bachman and the Umbrex team for their prolific content for our community. ​ 💡 -Wes |
