Meet the people earning six figures in high-end gig work. “I’d be bored if you gave me a full-time job now.”
Jody Greenstone Miller co-founded and helps run Business Talent Group LLC, which connects independent consultants with companies looking to staff projects and fill interim executive roles. Before the pandemic, roughly 80% of projects she recruited for had an in-person component. Today 90% of those projects are all-remote, she says.
These gigs can be found through firms like BTG, clients that workers may have known through previous full-time roles and, many emphasize, active networking. “It was hard to say, ‘I’m going to do this,’ until I knew someone was going to give me the chance,” says Ms. Krall, who is 34 and found her first client, a charter school, through a previous boss. “I definitely had this impostor syndrome feeling of, ‘Is someone going to pay me for my expertise?’”
“Working through the pandemic, trying to keep my kids safe and happy—I don’t think I even realized how exhausting that was,” she says. “Having the space to feel like I’m choosing how to spend my time feels like a real luxury.”
