Hi Thomas,

Consultancy is good bro. Some of the advantage being a consultant:-
1. You will gain many experiences in varius fileds of industries.
2. Networking all over the country..
3. You are train to be a trainer (ISO awareness, internal audit)
4. Be a ISO certification auditor.
5. You also can do consultancy on your own (side projects)

A lot of consultant is also a part-time auditor. If you are good, you can open your own consultancy firm.

PM me, maybe you can refer some clients to me in the future.
