Help me find a job that fits what I want to do!

Hello all!
So in short after almost 5-6 years of working, I think I might have found what I actaully want to do!

Background, I am a web developer, worked in startups and big corps and then started also my own startups which are now dead :)

The problem is that I get easily bored, I need constant engagement and I do not mean this in the same way that job adverts list this. I need problems! (ADHD)

Recently I had the experience to help a company with their problems in terms of legal and due to my previous experience I knew who to call etc.

But in the end this is what I want to do. Get a problem, solve it and move to the next one, this is why I thought I liked development.

Now is there even such a thing? Is there a title a position who deals with this?

Thanks a lot!

P.S I had posted also on HN but the main reply was work in consulting due to its constant changing of "projects" however I do not think that this can only be the only fitting thing as first it is too broad and second there must be Operational type roles in companies no?

    Some kind of product or technical support role? Where you react and fix incoming user’s problems.

      Nah, thats too low level, it would be more annoying than anything. I am actually looking now jobs in Operations. Not sure if that would be a fit..

    This is called the entreprenurial mindset. you will find this a lot on this forum.

    Consulting? Probably. But it's very hard to establish yourself as a "problem solver". Even harder to market yourself.

      Ye, I have been trying for the past 2 years on the entrepreneurial side but it does not seem very fruitful yet..
