  5. you can buy/hire accredited expertise as well, which is something BigCo risk-averse management often prefers over competent-but-unaccredited people.

    I've never had accredited even come up in a conversation. It's more about paying someone, with deliverables to get something done. Now they must get it done. Their in house teams are already over worked, under staffed, and usually lower skilled because they are not paying a premium for staff. Could be in some random city without a strong base of people to hire. That's why consulting works. You pay me a ridiculous amount to fly to your random city every week, where I essentially work as staff, but with clear deliverables on a timeline that must be met. Then I work ridiculous hours every day while your inhouse staff goes home to see their family.
