Yes. Money will depend on your skill level with both Cisco and other
products as well, such as Unix, NW, MS, etc. It could be $30/hour, could be
$100. Location is probably almost as important. NYC pays pretty well, but
it cost's $50 to park a car for 4 hours! The thing about consulting like
this is you need be a salesperson at times. Personally, I hate salespeople,
and therefore don't make a good one myself. There's also more
responsibility, as far as finding your own insurance, paying taxes, etc. If
you can find a headhunter who will place you as a 1099 employee, that's
usually pretty good, but I haven't heard from my headhunter in months
:( I was on an indefinite project for a year, but that ended when they
outsourced. Since then it's all been small projects, mostly complicated
installs involving layer 3 switching. It's a tough market, and getting a
name for yourself can be difficult. Personally, I'm looking for a full time
position now.
