Looks likes the stars are all aligned.

Project secured a revenue of $500K with cost $400K allocated to me while my downstream cost is around $100K. Giving 100% buffer, I’ve still have $200K to play around.

From demand perspective. Both customer and my bosses want to get the operation right. I’ve the skills and knowledge with the environment and people. Will be easy for me.

My plan as follow. QUIT the job and have company employing me as freelance consultant to help study and document customer Network, at the same time, put in tools that can perform the following

1. IP address / VLAN management
2. Network router/switches Configuration backup
3. Hardware Inventory for supported hardware
4. Setup NTP
5. Setup access for eG
6. Clean up password
7. Central Logging
8. Switch port information

On top of that, setup process and procedure for port provisioning, IP address provisioning.

For all these, charge a fee of $200K. To secure this job, talk to customer to “hand-pick” my service. I’ll work at night so as not to crash with daily operation.
