This may be a controversial thing to say, but I'm curious how exactly a consulting position "matures" into a full-time position. In my experience it works the other way around, that is full-time positions "mature" into consulting positions, with that company, or others.

Depends on the market where you live. talk to some recruiting/consulting firms, and markup the quote they say they can pay you by 30-50%, or possibly as much as 100%, to arrive at some type of market value for your skills. It really depends on demand.

And as always, there's no such thing as job security, except your skills, and your demand. Received on Mon Jun 05 2000 - 13:18:22 CDT
