Shad has been, by far my favorite
speaker so far. He has gone down the avenue I want for myself. He has
consulted, with custom software for improving government efficiency. Now, CloudPower
is developing and selling broad software tailored to the Washington state
government processes. Efficiency and business is what I am passionate about,
and what I feel my calling is. I am going to see how far I can get with CloudPower.
An internship there would be perfect and the question I asked in class was “when
would you know if you have enough experience to consult?”, Shad’s advice was to
work at a consulting company and gain experience through that. Since there are
so many of them around, not a lot of people focused on consulting need to
obtain knowledge in a position before consulting.
I am working with a Seattle
consulting company on an internship for this summer, but it’s IT consulting.
Being a CS Major, I don’t exactly fit the mold. My neighbor works for them and
their HR is interested because of my previous internship. I wanted it to see
how the business model of consulting works. Having Shad present has helped a
lot.
I have always wanted to create
custom software for companies, then off of that information build software
products to sell. Shad said Consulting as a service owns no IP, and real return
on investment happens when your company has IP to sell. It’s so cool that we
had a speaker that I should follow, step by step. I really would like to learn
more from Shad and CloudPower.
