				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most of the time, when we talk about &#8220;consulting,&#8221; we mean going into business for ourselves, working for local businesses &#8212; or for businesses, not necessarily local, that need special expertise we&#8217;ve acquired. But there are also <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consulting_firm">consulting firms</a> that have strong IT practices, and if your qualifications meet their needs they might be worth considering as employers.<br />
<span id="more-233"></span><br />
The list we&#8217;re pointing to today is called the <a href="http://www.vault.com/wps/portal/usa/rankings/individual?rankingId1=248&amp;rankingId2=-1&amp;rankings=1&amp;regionId=0&amp;rankingYear=2012">Vault Consulting 50</a>, put together by Vault Career Intelligence, but without buying a paid subscription you only get to see 25 of them, and even to get all of Vault&#8217;s information on these potential employers, you&#8217;re supposed to spend $9.95 per month for a year or $14.95 per month for three months. </p>
<p>Is this expenditure worthwhile? Perhaps, for some. </p>
<p>Meanwhile, even without paying, this is a list of 25 employers that have ongoing IT needs and tend to pay rather well for top applicants.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a top applicant, and you have an <a href="http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/IT-ladder/six-web-pages-that-will-help-you-write-an-effective-resume/">appropriately-keyworded resume</a>, you may want to hit some of them up.</p>
