Do consultants never code?
- bastijn 9y agoI replied above, it depends on the level of the consultant. Never say never. For a five figure a week consultant I would say it is not the first priority.
- dboreham 9y agoThey can code. "Consultant" doesn't mean much. May as well say "Dude we hired to do XXX".
- bastijn 9y agoThat would be a contractor or contingency worker for me. They are hired to do X. When they leave their work stops, a critical difference with a consultant. Consultant does mean something. Means you temporarily hire experience in a field you are not familiar with to bring competency to your company, train/knowledge transfer to employees, and have a quick up ramping of a project which can continue when the consultant leaves because now you have a proper architecture and your employees are trained to use it, work with and extend it.
