Why Consulting Might Be Right for You             

Written by Casandra Noyes

With what feels like an uptick in people making a transition in their work status, many are comparing full time roles to consulting roles. Logisolve is a Management and IT Consulting company that places people in contract, contract to hire, and occasionally, direct hire roles. Over the past several years, we’ve seen many companies moving more and more toward contract to hire (CTH). CTH allows companies an opportunity to get someone through the interview process quicker, onboarded and started faster, and it’s a way to make sure the job is properly defined and graded and a fit for the consultant and the company before committing to full time.  

We’ve talked to many people in recent months who are exploring consulting for the first time. Logisolve has been working with people on their career transitions for 25+ years and we are always willing to have a conversation with you about your resume (we are resume experts having seen 1000’s) and how your skills may align to our Clients.  

Some reasons to consider Consulting during your transition include:

1.) Diverse Clients with a variety of projects across industries:

• • • Consultants can choose projects that align with their interests and skillset, and work on different technologies and business problems across multiple clients and multiple industries.
    • A Company like Logisolve has relationships with hundreds (I didn’t take time to count) of local clients, with many different opportunities, that may be a match for your skills and interests.
    • Our Clients span many industries and range in size.

2.) Rapid skill development:

• • • Exposure to diverse environments.
    • Exposure to other technologies and methodologies/approaches that you haven’t worked with before.
    • Gain knowledge across various IT domains.
    • Ability to follow what is important to Clients.
    • Logisolve is always staying on top of technology trends and building our knowledge base around what is important to Clients. We also sponsor several professional organizations and attend conferences as a vendor, provide speakers, or as attendees for learning.
    • Logisolve has a Capability focused structure that allows you to align with other experts who have similar skills to you and is a place you can go for advice or coaching.

3.) Flexibility in work schedule/location:

• • • Consultants often have more control over their work hours and location, with most roles being hybrid, which can be beneficial for managing personal commitments.
    • While you can find some remote roles, most roles today are Hybrid, giving you the opportunity to build your network inside an office and learn from those around you, increasing your knowledge of their industry.

4.) Networking opportunities:

• • • Working with different companies exposes consultants to a wider professional network, which can be valuable for future career moves or when looking for projects.
    • At Logisolve, we have a Recruiting team, Sales team, Capability Leaders and an Operations team all with networks that we are willing to introduce you to.

Transitioning into consulting can be a rewarding career move, offering the chance to gain valuable experience, expand your skillset, and build meaningful connections across industries. Whether you are looking for more flexibility, exposure to new challenges, or a path to your next role, consulting can provide a pathway to achieve your goals. At Logisolve, we can support your transition into consulting and help you navigate opportunities that align with your expertise and career aspirations.
