I don't disagree with your anecdote but most of us aren't consultants, a big part of whose job is maintaining constant contact and alignment with customers and co-workers.

If you go by the classic Joel Spolsky hiring criteria, all that matters about hiring is if the person is “smart and gets things done” of course it also has to be someone you want to work with. It really doesn’t take that long to prove those traits. True working in consulting I got to do it fast. I’ve got to get to know the customer, understand their problem, deal with the organizational issues, get them to accept the solution and implement the solution. During that time, I get to know a lot of directors and CxOs on the customers side and got a chance to meet my AWS coworkers who moved on to use their network to get better jobs as they did the same. Just for reference, both companies - AWS and the third party consulting company I work for now are full time positions. I was only looking for full time direct hire positions.
