That's a little confusing...the titles "Solution Engineer" and
"Solution Architect" are usually found in a Microsoft/.Net technology
environment, but you specify that you're looking for Java background.

Could you be a little more explicit about your requirements, and the
type of engagement you're offering?

I would. These days you can do an awful lot without a premium
membership; the LinkedIn management evidently has realized that their
brand is worth more if the core functionality is free to use.

I've found it very useful to locate people I've worked with in the
past. And asking general questions of folks in your extended network
is definitely free.

Thanks, Margaret.  I actually have a LinkedIn, but unless it's changed, I
thought you had to have a paid subscription to do anything other than just
do initial "finds" of people.  Should I take another look at LinkedIn?

If you don't get enough info here, I'd suggest posting that as a
question on LinkedIn... it seems to me that a bunch of people in my
network talk about topics related to that sort of thing all the time.

Hi, all.  Has anyone heard of B2G Institute?  Has anyone had any experience
with them?  I'm asking because I went to a seminar today and am torn between
feeling like it is really something that makes sense and could provide the
focus and targeting I've floundered with in the past, but then my radar is
always tuned up (some say too high) and maybe it's one of those MLM style
hype things.

Thanks in advance.  I know I can count on good feedback from this group.

   There are quite a few carriers that will underwrite individual
   disability insurance for sole proprietors. If you haven't shopped for
   individual DI (as opposed to group coverage) you may be in for a
   little sticker shock, but rest assured that there are many parameters
   that you can control to help manage the premium cost. Putting DI
   coverage in place is one of the services I provide my clients. Feel
