depends what the consultancy wants. It can just be a bum on a seat using Excel for them to charge at £1000 a day...Originally posted by kaiser78 View PostNot with INexperienced contractors it doesn't.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Along with the other suggestions made, I would add:
...because they are cheap
...because they fit the model of many consultancies - sell the client your top guys, then at the end of the first week/month, move them off site and move less competent/cheaper people in, who will take longer (meaning bill more) and deliver less (meaning bill more)…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
