I'd buy one, but I'm broke atm & my current Asus is complete ass for my workflow.

@kareem_carr Perhaps it has something to do with the sneaking suspicion that such roads lead to behaviors such as this becoming normalized?

6 Things I Wish I Would Have Known Before Switching From A Data Engineer To A Data Consultant
1) 20% of your time is spent prospecting
➜ You need to find your super power, whether its marketing, sales, networking, clients need to know you exist
➜ Self-promotion isn't bad and it doesn't have to be salesy, just genuinely help people
➜ You might find yourself really enjoying the marketing aspect. Figuring out what content is most helpful and also leads to clients or how to network well
2) Getting NO from prospects isn’t bad - In fact sometimes you’ll be the one saying no to them.
➜ Not every prospect or project is a good fit, the faster you know is a win for everyone
➜ Just because you get a no from a prospect, or maybe you say no, doesn't mean you can't be helpful. You can always provide other resources or recommend consultants that might be a better fit
3)You are driving the project
➜ Whether your client is paying you 5k or 500k, they are paying you to take care of a problem, you need to drive it to completion
➜ Regardless of the number being paid, they hired you so they don't have to think about the project(unless you have a very controlling client)
4) Communicate, Communicate, Communicate
➜ You'd rather over communicate vs under, so give updates, reach out, and make sure your client knows where the project is heading
➜ If your'e blocked, reach out ASAP.
5) You need to be uncomfortable with uncertainty
➜ You don't always know where clients will come from, but eventually they always come
➜ You can't always tell if you're growing(unless you're being very mindful)
6) Make sure you have a clear set of whys
➜ Why do you want to consult vs work as an FTE
➜ Why should people hire you vs another consultant
