Benjamin Rogojan - AKA Seattle Data Guy

Before switching to consulting full-time, I worked at Facebook as a data engineer. But eventually, I built up a book of business that allowed me to quit my job at Facebook and actually, to my surprise, double my income.

It took me several years to get to this point and a lot of lessons along the way. That's why I put together this course. I want to share those lessons with you. So you too can quit your full-time job(if that's your goal). Or perhaps just provide a way for you to create a side income by finding projects you want to work on!

So let's dive into what this course offers below.

Testimonials

“I took part in this recently. Benjamin Rogojan knows his stuff and is a great presenter. Definitely would recommend it to those who are considering doing their own consulting. I definitely learned a lot from the content. I also got to meet other great people doing the course and was inspired by their progress. The other thing I got from the course was that we all have the skills or can learn the skills that is required to deliver value and in turn attract potential clients. Thanks again for putting this course together.”

“Enrolling in this course and joining the dynamic Circle community has revolutionized my journey as a solopreneur. This program condenses vital consulting insights into an efficient 5-week curriculum, sparing me the effort of sifting through an overwhelming sea of resources. But it's not just about information; the thought-provoking questions steer me towards action, shifting my mindset from contemplating consulting to actively pursuing it. However, the true gem lies within the supportive Discord community—a bedrock of solidarity and networking. Here, I not only find camaraderie but also a strategic filter for the expansive technical vendor landscape. The community curates the vendors deserving of attention, providing balanced pros and cons along with trusted, personal reviews. It's like having an entire expert network at your fingertips.”

David McCandless

“After taking Ben's course and mentorship, I was able to get 4 freelancing projects. I am now on my way to become an independent consultant and very soon I would be quitting my job and doing full-time data engineering consulting. Ben answered all my questions patiently and guided me on my next steps. I would recommend this course to anyone who is planning to switch to technical consulting and build a consulting business.”
