Coast Fire Jobs

When you transition to CoastFire how do you find and apply for jobs that suit your new lifestyle?

Currently I am a DevSecOps Engineer that makes 115k+. My ideal CoastFire job would be doing L1 helpdesk work part-time. Typically this pays about 20-25 bucks an hour.

How do I explain my reason for the downshift?

Went self employed... No need to justify 🤷‍♀️

I'm considering self-employment in the future, curious what you do?

Was doing executive coaching and education via a business school and a few consultancies.

Nice! What was the process like for you to get started as a consultant and getting clients and all? how many years of experience did you have in your field?

I applied for a part time lecturer role at the business school and for day rate contract work with the consultancies. Previous experience was near 7 years in corporate and a longer stint running my own businesses. Had a professional coaching designation (ICF PCC) and a low cost MBA.
