Solid projects, need more consistent flow
Pros: I've landed some really interesting project opportunities as an independent strategy consultant. The network leadership team provides decent support when you have questions. It's a great way to find remote consulting work.
Cons: Project scopes aren't always super clear at the start, which can make things tough. You don't always feel a strong connection to Umbrex's top leadership. Consistency of new projects can be a bit up and down.
Advice to Management: Focus on clearer project definitions upfront. More direct communication from Umbrex leadership on market insights for independent consulting would be really appreciated.

Umbrex offers solid remote work flexibility
Pros: As an **independent consultant**, I've got great control over my schedule. The **remote work** model is super helpful, letting me pick **management consulting** projects that fit my life. It's a real perk for maintaining good work-life balance.
Cons: Sometimes the project demands can get pretty intense, even with the flexibility. You're responsible for managing your own pipeline, which isn't always easy. There's also less internal team camaraderie since it's all about client engagements.
Advice to Management: Keep focusing on diverse project opportunities for independent consultants. Maybe explore more ways for consultants to connect and collaborate, even with the remote setup.

Good for independent consulting, but watch project flow
Pros: Work flexibility here is pretty solid as an independent management consultant. You can really pick your own client projects, which is awesome for remote work from Atlanta. It means I control my schedule.
Cons: However, job security for project-based roles can be tough sometimes. There's no traditional corporate safety net, which is typical for the gig economy. The pay is decent, but you're on your own for benefits.
Advice to Management: Maybe offer some optional resources or a better platform for finding the next project. Help consultants bridge those gaps between engagements.
