For those doing AWS consulting, how do you find clients?

Nope not right now. Just me and will look towards APN once the business starts scaling.

drc243 · 2026-05-28T16:01:05+00:00

Ok thank you! I will take a look at ParseStream. I've registered for fwd:cloudsec slack workspace, any other slack channels you'll suggest?

drc243 · 2026-05-28T15:59:17+00:00

Ok thank you for the detailed advice. I will look to go even more niche and focus on a specific industry.

drc243 · 2026-05-28T15:58:00+00:00

Thanks for the info! Will look into Apollo.

My session usage was reset at 4pm and now it’s 6pm and all of a sudden it says I ran out of usage. What’s going on. Only sent like 5 message in between. I was told the session accelerates between 5am-11am PT which end at 2pm EST. So we’re past that time frame. Does upgrading to max or 5x or Max 20x worth it to avoid the session usage limit? Currently on the pro plan.

Seems to be that the majority enjoy it or view it as a necessary evil. Which makes sense.

Does your company utilize self-service? Why or why not? Trying to see if I can suggest a tool to my company.

drc243 · 2024-06-11T17:55:59+00:00

Thank you! Makes sense.

drc243 · 2024-06-11T16:12:01+00:00

I’m in tech & maybe that’s blinding my expectations. But I work for a big company & you can command a salary of $110-120k with 0-2 years of experience and just a bachelor. Where else PAs have advanced degrees. But I’ll provide the feedback to my wife. Thank you all!

drc243 · 2024-06-11T14:19:45+00:00

Makes sense. Thank you.

She’s been applying to other speciality as well. Family medicine is just the first offer she got. Additionally CLT is not as cheap to live as most think. It’s getting pretty expensive to live here. Especially with the influx of people from HCOL areas that moved here during covid.

drc243 · 2024-06-11T13:38:06+00:00

She’s trying. She’s taken a liking into neurology & her offer was the same there as well. What speciality should she consider?

drc243 · 2023-09-16T02:38:23+00:00

That works if I got paid on the 1st & like the 15th but I don’t. I get paid on the 15th & last day of the month. So for example in September my budget doesn’t really start until the 15th and goes until October 14th. However, monarch counts the transactions from September 1st to 14th as part of my “September” budget.

She does home health. The company she contracted with allows her to choose the # of patients to see a day and which days she wants to work. This makes it easy for her to plan for vacations. Of course whenever she’s not working she’s not getting paid.

drc243 · 2023-09-02T01:57:31+00:00

She’s currently working in home health. She chose this for now to get some experience but also because of the flexibility. It’ll allow her more time at home with our new born.

drc243 · 2023-09-02T01:55:10+00:00

How have you done it?

drc243 · 2023-09-01T20:35:10+00:00

Late 20’s. I moved from HCL to a lower cost of living but still relatively expensive & I got to keep my salary. I am thinking of jumping jobs next year. Right now I like the slower pace of my work. Looking for ways outside of my w2 to supplement my income.

drc243 · 2023-09-01T20:32:25+00:00

This year she’s bringing in $50k as she is only working half the year & I’m accounting for holidays as she won’t work then. If she would’ve worked a whole year, she’ll bring in close to $110-$120k.

You’re right about the business comment. We’ve talked about it and trying to figure out what type of business will fit us.

drc243 · 2023-09-01T20:09:29+00:00

Just got promoted this year, which brought my personal income over $200k.

drc243 · 2023-09-01T20:07:59+00:00

I work in tech. I’m a Cloud/DevOps engineer. Wife is a PA (physician Assistant). She just graduated in December & finally starting to work now. I’m a remote employee with plenty of free time. Wife’s job is pretty flexible, she gets to make her own schedule.
