This short work introduces the reader to a career in IT consulting. Written by Eetu Niemi, a ten-year veteran of the field, it describes what IT consulting actually looks like and presents options about which kind of positions entrants should look for based on their personal values and life traits.
Importantly, he distinguishes between management consulting and IT consulting. Management consulting can pay more but is much more demanding in terms of hours and expectations. IT consulting seems more like contract work in different roles.
As someone in mid-career, my biggest takeaway is that if I need to pivot in this direction, there might be a place for me to chart a future career with my current professional skillset.
This book does a good job of demystifying the career for those interested. It also makes no false promises: Working your way to the top is no short-term project, but this career path can be rewarding. He closes with several testimonials of others to illuminate the pathways even more. In so doing, he provides a solid reference to help people launch their career in IT consulting.
