Quick thought

Damn all this eloquence is wasted on a person who doesn't know how to talk about anything but themselves.

I've got that "scary articulate" thing going for practically nothing.

lol, nice - glad to help! I guess I have a lot of career-themed words in me these days.

Idk about outside the tech corner, but from what I've seen the trend for allowing people to grow in their job without becoming people-managers is definitely catching on. And in my org, we differentiate project manager and consultant as roles, but I know many places that don't.

Actually, if you like I can tell you a bit more about my own background and concrete examples or whatever, but maybe DM me for that ^^°

I'll do that :D

I can't say you didn't get me curious. My mom and adoptive dad are both entrepreneurs -- they work in finance, doing private banking and investment consultation. I think that might be affecting how I feel about the idea of "consultation" in general, b/c what they do has a big marketing component in what kind of investment services they end up taking on and offering to their clients.

And I am a terrible salesperson. A big part of the appeal of directing is getting to execute on a vision, and a big thing that put me off actually going to film school was that I'd have to keep selling my ideas instead of getting to really focus on making them.
