Hello! I have been a consultant for about 4 and a half years. I initially made it to Team Leader in my first year, but my team has all dissappeared. It is currently more of a hobby for me - but I would love to have it be more of a business again.
 
Welcome to CS Aimee!
 
Aimee I'm in the same position. Now only a Sr Consultant and building a team right now seems impossible even given the recent specials. Best of luck to you!
