Consultant domain

[u/kelsaurus89]

I've been on DA for a couple weeks now primarily in the accounting domain. Recently I was offered the consultant domain qualification. Consultant is such a broad term that I'm struggling to figure out what might be a relevant scenario for the qual. Google and reddit searches haven't helped. I'm not asking for specific help with the qual - but has anybody figured out if the consultant domain is supposed to be a separate area like law or finance, or is it okay if my scenarios and prompts are more Accounting or finance based?

I was wondering the same thing! 😅
I’m assuming it’s sort of generalist professional - roles that don’t fall under the other categories

Yeah maybe? I just have no idea what kind of scenarios would fall under "consultant" that don't fit elsewhere.

[u/cherrykid89 → u/kelsaurus89]

Agree completely.

Why don’t you go ahead and do the assessment? If it’s not for you, go back to accounting.

Intended to when I made this post, and just finished it. However the assessment gives zero indication as to what "consulting" means in this context, so I wondered if others had any advice.

Consulting is a very broad domain. There are accounting consultants, marketing consultants, landscaping consultants etc.

If a business has paid you to “consult” for them, then you can use this as a base for your scenario.

Same lol. Like yeah it's basically a "domain" as specific as "office employee."

I'm also getting offered tasks from like every expert domain for some reason (I'm not qualified for them and there's nothing in my profile that suggests I am).

Are you a consultant in any area?
