Curious about contracting
Sep. 25th, 2003 11:47 amThe more I think about it, the more I think I would enjoy contracting (or better yet, Consulting) at this point in my life. I'm tired of committing my heart to new companies only to be disappointed and abandoned. I'm tired of falling in love with a product only to find that product management has lost interest in it before it's even released. I'd like to just provide a service to somebody, give them my best work, know when I'm done, and leave on an upbeat note.
So, I'm looking for tips. Anybody have an engineering-oriented consulting/contracting company they would like to recommend? Or maybe you work someplace that could benefit from an experienced QA professional coming in to analyze requirements, write up some test plans, maybe manage a short-term testing cycle. Or, better yet, design a technical training course (for either customers or internal audience). Networking is my specialty, but I like to think I'm pretty good at picking up the details of almost any technical project and identifying the key concepts (which is the first step in either a training plan or a test plan).
