Curious if you could talk about the transition from FT to consulting? Specifically how you prepared and when you knew you had enough clients lined up to leave? Thanks!
I got laid off when the company that acquired the startup I worked for, plus two or three others in the same space at the same time, tried to make us the "cloud services" group for the others (laying off our product group to "refocus us"). We were like "...we don't want to do this", so we basically all got laid off with nice severances, I screwed around for a month or so, and I ended up doing some work for a very large startup where my friend was the Director of Engineering. Been doing it ever since.
