Inhalt

Consulting and contracting are not the same, in form or function. When you consider your next career step, you may think of freelancing. The usual questions are about logistics of setting up a business. Before that, you must distinguish between contracting and consulting, and whether your personality type is suited to one or the other. Making the right match can mean the difference between a successful practice or being perpetually stressed.
