Ask HN: Boutique Architecture Consultancy or Contract?

1 points by goingindi 5 years ago | 1 comment

I’m an architect and if you see my previous submissions it’s clear I’m looking for change to start my own thing and make more money (honesty policy)

I’ve many years in architecture and tech in private and public sector and looking at starting something or getting out of bureaucracy of Gov (current).

contracting is ok if I make the green and stop the daily noise of other nonsense floating into my work queue.

So how do I start a boutique, can I do this between cities, internationally / remotely? Is there market for EA, solution architecture, cloud, transformation via remote? Do you have an idea how to start? I was thinking if reaching to local recruiters to ask about Part time contracts, small gigs or sub contracting. I can reach out to my network locally.

Incorporate. Start contracting as an independent, but bill as your corporation. As you build up your reputation, look for opportunities to hire subs.
