>> I’ve had a CFO tell me he’s willing to pay 2x-3x salary I took that into account. I made between 100k and 200k per year vs the other guys 600k for the same work, which I arguably did better since it was my specialty. The company really was being taken for a ride by the contractors (if what I was told was true).

Companies being taken for a ride by contractors: 100% happens. I’ve seen it first hand from the head offices. In both cases it was “we’re going with product X because it’s supposed to be the best. Does anyone here have expertise in it? No? Good thing the vendor has trusted partners.” One contracting company had the audacity to fly in two carloads of “experts” before the system was even set up. They lingered and deflected even the most basic questions about the product.
