Great people, interesting and diverse work, competitive total compensation, opportunities for growth in many different areas. I've developed an extensive network of companies and individuals in my area of expertise.

Consulting work load comes in waves, sometimes you're extremely busy, sometimes you're not. Without developing your own client base there are limited opportunities for upward movement in the company.
