At Data Minded, we are data engineers first and foremost. But in reality, we do a lot of consulting. What is consulting really? I recently gave an internal talk about Consultancy at Data Minded and I thought it would make sense to share my thoughts publicly. Iâm curious about your feedback. Leave it in the comments! Why does the world need consulting in the first place? Consultants get a lot of criticism for charging a lot of money and not really making a big difference. And thatâs not a complete lie in some cases. :-) But then, why does the world need consultants? Well, itâs actually really simple.
