Well, as someone who consulted for 15 years, humongo clients come and go. It is nice to have that steady paycheck when you're a consultant, but ultimately (in my experience) it's political. And you aren't in the administration. Be happy for what you got but be looking for the next humongo client. Consulting is like a relationship AND an affair rolled up into one.
Sorry you'll be faced with that bit of uncertainty as things change - always difficult and apprehension-provoking.
