Agreed. I would be very happy if my "salary" and my billing rate were the same. Still, based on a 2000 hour year, $500K is a billing rate of $250/hr. That's not unusual for high-end IT consultants, but at that rate the client should be getting what they pay for, or terminating the agreement. The problem with this kind of story is that it's hard to know whether the issues are with the implementer or the client -- are the delays/overruns due to changing requirements, or poor delivery?
- tptacek 17y agoThere's zero question that NYC is getting a firm rogering from SAIC. But I would be absolutely amazed if the SAIC consultants staffing this project were beneficiaries of anything but a stable, 85th percentile salary. It seems borderline dangerous to call out the schmucks actually doing the work for what SAIC is charging for them. That's going to be on their "Google resume" forever. The newspaper better be right.
