JANEL ABRAHAMI | Career Advice for the Future of Work on Instagram: "Are you already doing this? How does it work for you? ⚡️ Consulting Collective (noun): when a small group of independent consultants or freelancers share clients, resources, and revenue on specific projects while maintaining their independence on others. Like the Avengers, but for client work. The solo consultant life is lonely and limiting, because you can only take on so much work, you have no backup when you’re sick or on vacation, and big clients often want teams, not individuals. But going back to a traditional agency or corporate job means giving up your autonomy + flexibility. So, consulting collectives are the clever middle ground no one’s talking about. Here’s how they actually work. @freelancingfemales @dreamersdoers @linkedinnews @entrepreneur @entreprenistas"
