Internet Consultants

Outlook

Employment of management consultants who specialize in IT consulting is expected to be strong. The U.S. Department of Labor, reports the following employment outlooks in IT-related fields through 2033:

  • computer systems analysts: +11 percent
  • Web developers and digital designers: +8 percent
  • software developers, quality assurance analysts, and testers: +17.0 percent

There is currently a large demand for Internet consultants. However, as more and more companies become established on the Web, they may hire their own Web developers, e-commerce specialists, and systems administrators. In addition, new software programs and artificial intelligence tools are making the development of simple Web pages easier to create without expert help. The health of the consulting industry is also directly linked to the economy. Companies scale back during economic slowdowns, and freelance Internet consultants can experience a decline in business.
