My amplifiers turn into attenuaters.

How can I be a good consultant, if I don't know how to build a good common emitter amplifier? So, I bought a book "practical transistor circuit design and analysis" by Williams.

Any one favor another text on the subject?

There quite a few ap notes and example projects across web, a lot of overlap but some
have interesting twists on design methods and approaches.

ap? Do you mean application note?

I don't know. Given your apparent lack of any circuit design knowledge or experience, what kind of companies do you hope to consult with.

Please post your schematic.

I did an article on designing a common emitter amplifier for my youtube channel recently:

LOL.. When we did amps back at college, we spent a few good week designing a class A amp getting it perfect.. THEN!! were told they were crap and move on to B and C types as single transistor amps were so inefficient and differs from transistor to transistor.... I just buy IC's now...
