The average salary of a consultant is “right around $75,000 per year”.
This is what Consulting.com found after looking at the salaries of everyone with a “consultant” in their title across three major salary tracking companies. It seems that being a consultant is actually a lucrative career path.
But apart from adding a consultant title to your LinkedIn profile and bragging about how you can help people achieve what they want, you need to have the right credentials in order to be a successful 6-figure consultant.
