re: Anyone here work as a consultant?

I work as a consultant on the trading technology side of the hedge fund industry. It's demanding and our clients don't have much clarity into how things work or realistic timelines, which makes it frustrating for them as well. On the plus side, I do get a lot of access to the industry I eventually want to work in and have worked on some really interesting projects. Also, I rarely travel as most of my clients are in same city as my office. I imagine most implementation work is somewhat similar.
