I like consulting because other people’s business problems are so much more interesting than my own. My personal biz meta-work amounts to random acts of cash-flow management every few months when arbitrary numbers I’m vaguely aware of wander outside apathy bounds to anxiety zones

There's a seriously fun aspect of learning how someone else's business makes money-understanding how the world works. Consulting draws you in with this, then pushes you out with the pain of coming up with a non-obvious, valuable deliverable (PPT, drawings/plans, etc).

TBH, I think that's really your real innovation with consulting. Majority of clients need something to show investors/CEOs/owners.

I’d rather consult for an intern who has autonomy in doing something humble like tweeting than for a CEO with so little power that you’re effectively helping them craft board presentations
