Transcript

could be wrong, but I think we're gonna continue to see a ton more people move from corporate into independent consulting and fractional work. And there's a couple reasons why. We've got layoffs happening, corporate burnout. People who just want to have more flexibility and freedom. And consulting and fractional work really allows for that. I work about 25 hours a week and I make way more money than I did in corporate. And I also feel more secure and stable than I did in corporate because my income isn't tied to one specific company. I took a bet on myself rather than a bet on one company. Now I have a portfolio of clients, and that creates stability. One of them goes out, great, I have another two or three. True or false? We're seeing a lot of statistics about the rise of fractional, what do you think?
