More than half of the nearly 6,000 global development jobs currently open on the Devex job board are for short-term contract or long-term consulting roles. So it should come as no surprise that many of our digital career events and advice articles from this past year were geared toward independent consultants.
As we continue to curate the best career advice from this past year, the following consulting tips shared by coaches, working professionals, and other development experts stood out as being particularly astute.
Many are drawn to consultancy work by the lure of a better work-life balance, but this is only achievable if you are able to effectively manage your time and workload.
