Job title: Freelance or Independent

[Spoiler]

Am dreaming up this week's job title, and wondering which one to go for. Which conveys more "gravitas". Which one I can spell correctly consistently.

I'll be providing consultancy services for networking technology, but across a number of vendor products. So I want to get across that I'm vendor agnostic/neutral/experienced across the lot.

Currently looking at pitching myself as either of these:

• Freelance Consultant
• Independent Consultant

Any preference ?

[WTFH]

Independent.


To me "Freelance" is something I associate with writers or other unemployed people.

[MrMarkyMark]

WGAS.

Throw a coin.

[DimPrawn]

Money Grubber

That's me.

[BlasterBates]

Agree with the above, freelance means living in an attic room on 500 a month.

[psychocandy]

Ninja or jedi master

[MrMarkyMark]

FTFY

Independent.


To me "Freelance" is something I associate with zero hours contracts, hookers, or my drug dealer.

[dx4100]

Lazy but Loaded

[Hobosapien]

Sydney Bristow's CIA codename was "Freelancer" in Alias.

Good enough for me, as is the title.

Anything with "Consultant' sounds total . Consulting what? Whoever is fleecing the client on your behalf? I prefer to fleece them myself.
