Hi Team,

Currently I am working as a mid level DBA with lot of experience in .Net to.

I am thinking to work as an independent consultant.I don't want to have a typical 9-5 job.I want to do something on my own.But not sure where & how to start.

I know there are lot of people on this forum working as independent consultants.
Would greatly appreciate any input from you gurus

Which country are you in? That would be a start as each country has different rules.

Then I really do not know, do you know any other consultants in your company? If so, the best start might be to ask them first.
