What kind of background skills do you need to be a consultant?MSPs and Consulting companies are cheat codes for your career.
I'm exposed to a lot of different technology. It's great, because I learn a lot. On the other hand, lt means a lot of late nights learning how to do shyt.
Some days I don't do shyt. Other days I put in 16 hours. As long as I get my work done on time. Maintain a good rapport with the client. I'm good money.
Most important part of consulting is to network and show initiative. Can't wait for shyt to happen. Gotta go get it.... Then again, that applies to life, in general

Have you heard of these firms? Accenture/DXC/Cognizant/Capgemini, what do you think of them.

Would getting my Security+ be a waste now, since I have a one year of experience in cyber security as a systems engineer? I plan on leaving my job soon for another one and I'm very interested in gov positions.
