I agree. In my experience, the company adds a lot of value to me. They help with writing CV (if not flat out write them) they do cold calling, and set up meetings, meaning when I go interview with a potential client, they are almost already on board to have me. They give me access to knowledge of all my colleagues (“have you worked with using tech X to solve problem Y?”), they handle taxes and billing, office and they pay me when there aren’t any clients.
