Any advice on how to find consulting gigs on your own? I have fallen back-assward into a few consulting relationships as a niche subject matter expert that have both paid off pretty well, and I'd like to keep this sort of business going but I don't know how to find new clients. Job searches for 'consultant' churn up a lot of what looks like W2 work for consultant firms. Just curious if there's an actual way people go about this.

I think I have that job - I have a friend who wants to get me to work in his hedge fund group for insane salary and I basically said thanks but no thanks, I do fine where I’m at and it’s the least amount of work for the most money I’ve ever had and you can’t put a price on that.

It’s a niche applied science field - the Achilles heel is that it is handcuffed to the operation of a department of the US government, so demand is inexhaustible (which is good) but occasionally the client can’t find its own rear end with both hands and a flashlight (which is bad)
