It’s amazing to me how popular consultants are. I’ve never had a good experience with engineering consultants or contractors on projects. A part of me speculates that if they were really skilled, most of them would have full time jobs directly with an employer.

- worthless-trash 4y agoI imagine that the exposure is specific towards large scale 'consulting' gigs
- francisofascii 4y agoWell, "employers" at some point got the idea to stop hiring in-house tech workers, because they are part of their "core competency". So here we are.
- HeyLaughingBoy 4y agoIME, most of them don't want direct hire jobs: they make far more as contractors.
- bluedino 4y agoIf you work for Accenture you're usually a W2 employee and your pay is similar to what it would be as a direct hire. Maybe a little different but you don't get the benefits employees do, bonuses, better insurance etc.
- bluedino 4y agoAt the F100 I work for (also as a contractor), it seems like well over half of the IT staff is contractors from places including Accenture. Some guys have been here for over 10, even 15 years, as contractors. It's easier to furlough contractors than regular employees, for one.
