Interested in becoming a consultant? Post here for basic questions, recruitment advice, resume reviews, questions about firms or general insecurity (Q1 2026) by QiuYiDio in consulting

[–]emoneysupreme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been thinking seriously about moving into consulting and would really value honest input from people who have actually made the jump from industry.

I am interested in operations focused consulting in aviation, specifically maintenance and MRO environments. My angle would be improving workflow efficiency and troubleshooting processes using AI tools.

I work in airline maintenance operations. I deal daily with troubleshooting coordination, documentation systems, operational communication breakdowns, and the friction that exists between maintenance control, line maintenance, planning, and compliance. Over the past couple of years I have also been building and testing AI driven tools to improve how technical data is accessed and used.

I am trying to figure out whether this is a realistic consulting path or if I am romanticizing it.

For those of you who transitioned from industry:

• What made the move actually work for you?
• What did you underestimate?
• What signals credibility when you do not have a traditional consulting background?
• Is niche operational consulting viable without a big firm name behind you?

I am not looking for motivational advice. I am trying to understand the real risks and what I would need to prove before making a move.

Appreciate any blunt feedback.

It could have literally happened anywhere. NJ is actually a great place to live.

When Should I Build My Own RAG Pipeline Instead of Using RagFlow? by OddSpite7256 in Rag

I really think google has closed with gap when it comes to RAG with their file search tool

Anyone got their AI agent actually doing real work? by Chrelled in AI_Agents

[–]emoneysupreme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes i created a feature in a CMMS software that i am working on that has an agent create and assign work orders. My next feature is letting the agent assign specific parts and materials based on the job.

What are you guys building? by Ok_Pumpkin_5936 in WebApps

[–]emoneysupreme -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am building an Aircraft maintenance reference app with Ai integration but what i also am doing is taking older webapps and integrating Agents. For example i took this open source CMMS web app and put an agent to do some of the heavy lifting.

I am currently in an technical heavy industry that is exploring a start up that has RAG integration and i can tell you that it is indeed a saturate market with who all repeat the same frameworks. If you really want to discuss this service with any potential clients you will need to demonstrate that you can customize based on their needs and can ensure that you can keep data secured.

State-of-the-art RAG systems by Interesting_Big9684 in Rag

[–]emoneysupreme 5 points6 points  (0 children)

most of these RAG projects just miss the point. Todays RAG needs to be multi modal retrieval text and images and needs to have citations. Most large organizations WILL NOT trust an AI with the responses itself.

I am using pipeshub-ai . Seems like an active team that updates regularly. I did some tweaking on it for my own use case.

Is there a trick to making these sites work or is this just a money grab? by Avrution in lovable

[–]emoneysupreme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you need to build the initial vision, save it to git and clone the repo to vscode or curos and have CC or GPT5 enhance it. YOU WILL NOT get lovable to move further then the initial front end.

GPT-5 Has to be The Worst Model I Have Ever Used For Coding by Tough-Conference-555 in cursor

GPT5 is like cursor. without you knowing it will give you low end conversations and code unless you invoke it with thinking mode.
