By jump ship, you mean you now consult? or work for contract to fix/automate a company's process and move on?

As someone who's interested in this kind of work, do you have any advice?

No, I do not consult, I am a normal employee working as a data scientist in business intelligence. By jump ship I mean I went back to a small company I used to work for in the past. The VP of IT knows me (my unpleasant side too) and he needed someone impatient like me interested more in doing than in talking.

I do not know anybody doing consulting/contracting here in Germany, it seems to be an uncommon thing. I wish I would know how to get into it.
