Divide your salary by 2,080 and you get a number that mostly hides how much you're actually worth. This module walks through the real math: quantify the impact of your last few projects, compare that to what consultants bill for similar work, and build a timeline for closing the gap.
A generalist pitches "I help with cloud computing." A specialist names the one expensive problem they solve and gets called first. This module has you dig up your costliest solved problems and turn one into a positioning statement precise enough that a client recognizes their own situation in it.
10 to 15 hours a week are already sitting in your calendar, in your commute, your inbox, shows you don't remember watching. Track a real week, find those hours honestly, and build a schedule that protects your day job while giving your consulting practice a repeatable slot.
When's the last time you actually asked your network for something? This module shows how to reconnect with dormant contacts without it reading as a pitch: value first, then the ask. You'll leave with a simple way to track who responds.
Most people moving from corporate into consulting freeze the moment money enters the conversation. This module gives you a sequence for discovery calls: build trust, show value, get to a signed agreement, so you're following a process instead of improvising.
Everything before this module was preparation. This one is the 30 days where it becomes real: daily routines, outreach targets, and a tracking method that catches you if you start slipping in week two.
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
AI was used to assist with copy editing, grammar, and formatting on the course materials. The course content, frameworks, and consulting experience are entirely Aurobinda Mondal's own, built from 20+ years at AWS Professional Services, Capital One, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Citibank, Mastercard, and Palantir, and the real process he used to build his own consulting practice.
I spent 20 years at those companies. I processed millions of transactions, led engineering teams, and built platforms companies bet their business on. Then I did the math on what those companies actually billed clients for my work versus what they paid me. The gap wasn't small. That's the reason this course exists. This is a system for calculating exactly how much value you're leaving on the table, and building a consulting practice around reclaiming it, while your paycheck still clears every two weeks. You don't need to quit anything to start.
What you'll actually do across the 6 modules:
- Calculate your true hourly worth using the same math consulting firms use to bill you out
- Turn your most expensive solved problems into a positioning statement clients pay for
- Find the 10 to 15 hours a week you already have without touching your day job
- Reconnect with your existing network without it feeling like a pitch
- Run a discovery call that ends in a signed agreement, not an awkward silence
- Launch a 30-day sprint structured enough that you actually finish it
Who this is for: mid-to-senior IT professionals who've built real expertise and are tired of someone else deciding what that expertise is worth. If you're comfortable with your current trajectory, this isn't for you; the exercises are built for people who want to actually change something, not simply read about it.
I'm Aurobinda Mondal. I built this system to get myself out of the golden handcuffs first.
Everything in it is the version of the process that actually worked for me, not a theory.
