Consulting for a Major Streaming Service

     It is my dream to have a 'working relationship' with companies and tell them "This is great, I especially like x,y, and z." or "Err on the side of caution when doing this - It could be misinterpreted."  So when a certain company said "Do that, for us, for a few days." I said "Happy to help." " And we'll pay you!" "Even happier to help!"   I will not give specifics on information gathered and shared beyond "habits", as I signed a contract. And when I sign a contract, I consider this contract work. So I will absolutely drop in conversation, "Hey, I consulted for ... someone I can't say... for 🌟10 Days🌟!" This is about my experience - And I'm happy to say it was pleasant. The project-runners were clearly people who valued our insight. Here's a story about them that has nothing to do with the study, but this post should be a little longer.

Deloitte / InsideSherpa Tech Consulting Virtual Internship

Did you know? Before Covid-19, employers were rather stingy on helping graduates, new or not so new, with internships, often having a very limited time frame that they cared about you. Not so with Deloitte and InsideSherpa ! Check it out here . It was free, and a project to talk about, so I did it. Turns out that consulting is pretty cool. I've enjoyed thinking about the best solutions to bring a business to the cloud, or online.    It's not all just 'Set up a Cloud account and have at it'. My Azure certification gave me a leg up on one of the projects; I was more minute than they expected at points. It did show me that I can do remote work; Work is often already an invasion on someone's life and time. Being able to take my time and work when I wanted to without being burned out was a nice perk. If you still have your school e-mail address, you can sign up with that. I haven't tried it with a business address. This is basically "What does Deloitte do?"

Equipment: Netgear router (not extender) Netgear extender. Home router from Verizon Cable boxes Other things that use Wi-Fi.
