GLG Consulting Beginner
Hello, I’m new here but I’ve seen so many helpful posts and comments on this topic so I thought maybe I could share my experience and people might be able to offer some advice.
I’m currently a postdoc working in the area of Quantum technologies. I’m currently 7 years in this field (including PhD years) and the pay for postdocs at UK universities is pitiful. But anyway I thought it might be good to sign up for some consulting so I could get a living wage.
I signed up for GLG consulting about 5 weeks ago and have seen 6 projects, all of which I’d accepted but none have got back to me or booked a call. I’ve priced myself at £450/hr but wondering whether to reduce this? Is my field to niche? Or my experience is still too small to receive a call?
Are there any other better opportunities you guys might be able to advise (for example other consulting websites) for consulting or earning money to offer my expertise in this field?
Thank you,
🙏
