> Consulting: Limitless income

Not exactly.

Consulting is purely a function of your Bill Rate x Hours Worked.

And given there’s only so many hours in a day, it’s very much a Limited Income job.

It's not common, but fixed/value based bids aren't impossible to pull off.

That's the one way to really decouple pay from hours.

This works both ways though, there is a reason why time and materials is so common.
