I only work for end-clients, never consultancies. The issue is: if I work for a consultancy, then I've to keep the consultancy happy - not the end clients. It's not a conflict of interest I'm happy with.
Been in that situation quite recently, and I agree with NAT, not only do you get the blame from all sides, Client blames consultancy, consultancy blames you. Client blames you for carppy requirements consultancy gave you. I also had to fill in 3 timesheets per week.
The only thing on the wall around here is a Monet.
It works for me because every time i get fed up up I look at it and say to myself, 'calm down, think about the Monet'
Coat sir?
"See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."
