A lot of people don't realize how risky staff aug can be.
A good and properly managed customer relationship it is fine. But even then expectations can rapidly get misaligned.
- scarface74 4y agoIn all fairness, I work in the cloud consulting department at $BigTech. I have to be able to talk about my projects based on results, not just that I billed the customer $x hours a week. You can get staff augmentation people a lot cheaper than us. We don’t want the customer to have an ongoing dependency on us. We want them to either be self sufficient after we complete a project or be using a third party “partner”.

That company operated like a lot of consulting companies I've worked with, where their attitude was (and I quote): "A maniacal pursuit of revenue"
