Ask HN: How to start a software consulting company
3 by amir734jj | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I work as a software engineer, and I recently finished my Ph.D. in Computer Science. Programming is not just my job; it has been my hobby for as long as I remember. I always wanted to have my own software consulting company on the side where I could help other people solve their website or cloud (Azure or PaaS) problems. That has always been my dream. I am not sure where to start or how to approach people or which meet-ups I should attend. Especially after finishing my Ph.D., I have more free time and I don't like to waste time, instead, I could help other people. I appreciate any guidance or feedback. Thank you.
