I do not only consult, but try to deliver end products, along with teams of the client. It has that edge that I can deliver quite a lot, as I spent month on a project (sometimes years). So my chances of delivering something really good are well enough, I hope. But when I leave it always is with that feeling of not knowing what happens to the nice standards I set, true enough. just my two cents, all of the three possibilities have something going for them. Good points you made on both sides of the job. I for one do the second thing from your list of three, consulting, only with a twist that works for me.

If I told to my friends that what I learned about javascript came from some people who work in big companies, they will deny what I am in that way : "you are not good enough for an anarchist." Well, What I am is not What I do and what I do is not what I am for the others...
