Ask HN: Is it possible to fully outsource yourself?
2 points by phlux on April 19, 2011 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
I have been thinking of outsourcing my skills as a technology design consultant to the point where I would effectively run a small company that sells my services and I manage those who perform the work I used to do, but I am unclear how to start doing this?

Has anyone turned themselves into a consulting firm? How did you do this?



With all this talk about telecommuting, I wonder if you could do the same thing with your job. You get a telecommuting job and hire someone to do your work (at a lower rate, of course ;-)


Thats kind of what I am talking about - but scaling it up by 5 or 10 people....

Ill handle all the interpersonal communications between [Me] and employer, they do all the tactical work.

I PM myself effectively.
