ad 1) I even have this in my LinkedIn profile ad 2) you're right... maybe it's because I used to be a PM and I still perceive this position as more prestigious ad 3 and 4 and generally) you are right that I have non-technical knowledge and I can apply it with success, but the two main problems here for me are is that a) finding projects as a 'software developer' or 'software engineer' is much easier (although finding new leads is the hardest part for me at all) b) I cannot market myself both as a 'just a developer' and 'top notch consultant' at the same time, and because of a) I have to keep the 'developer' profile basically finding new leads is the worst part for me. I could be a 'consultant' and manage or cover myself most of such a project areas, but finding such consultanty gigs is tricky for me. anyone has an advice on finding such projects? frankly 99% of mine come from referrals and sometimes I found some accidentally on Twitter. cold emails, responding to job offers etc never works for me. how about you, @hopeless, what is it you're doing right now and how does it work for you?
