Careers
One model does not fit everyone
Consulting has two modes: employment or independence. One gives you stability and clients. The other gives you freedom and risk. We built the ground in between, and around, and beyond.
Why six models
The people we want to work with are not looking for a job. Some want meaningful projects with executive access. Some want a salary and a team. Some want ownership. Some want all of those at different stages of a career.
So the relationship between a person and this firm is designed rather than defaulted. Each model below is a different answer to the same question: what do you want to carry, and what do you want carried for you?

Questions
- Can I move between models over time?
- Yes. Several paths are built to evolve. An associate can become an employee, an employee can move to Flexive, and an advisor can become a partner.
- Do all roles support all models?
- No. Platform engineering is naturally full time, while advisory work spans several models. Each role listing says which ones apply.
- How is compensation determined?
- Each model has its own logic. Employees have salary bands, Flexive has a revenue-share formula, and advisors invoice their own rates. The structure is on the table before anyone commits.
- Is this a way to avoid hiring people properly?
- No. Flexive and Employee are both full employment contracts with benefits and protections. The variety exists because people are different, not because we are avoiding obligations.
