I've recently left ThoughtWorks to take up the life of an independent consultant. After nearly a decade working for medium sized consulting organisations as an employee, its a new adventure for me. In my first role, I'm working with my good friends at RedHill Consulting. Pairing full time with them makes my brain hurt, but thats the way I like it. I'm also maintaining a close relationship with Cogent Consulting, and will be collaborating with them in an ongoing basis. If you think any of us can help you out, let me know :-)

Thanks Mike. Good to see what all of those extra years of field hardened experience that you have over me gives ;-)

Marty, good luck on your independent quest, hope it all goes well for you.
I was wondering if you could let us in on why you left ThoughtWorks, had you had enough, or purely just to try it on your own? I am looking at changing jobs and have been reading good things about ThoughtWorks, although the people who blog about them seem to leave after a few years. any insight?
thanks, and good luck.
