What are the main risks or downsides involved in choosing a career in Interim Management?
The main risk is that you may suffer unwanted periods of unemployment waiting for the right assignment to come along. Also you do not enjoy any of the company benefits associated with permanent employment. Another potential downside is that the organisations you work for are unlikely to provide you with further professional development or training, as the work you undertake will typically be in area that you are already highly proficient.
