Has anyone worked at one of the big consultancies (Accenture, IBM etc)

I did some stuff at IBM. I was chuffed when they charged me out at £1850 per day for a project at a bank.

I didn't earn even a quarter of that

I was being charged out at £200 a day plus expenses in 1981 when I was on £8000 a year.

3 days' chargeout was roughly equivalent to a month's take home pay.

And the buggers didn't give me a company car.

The twats even complained about my expenses.

Not surprisingly I was soon offered a job at a client. Nearly double the pay and a Beemer for a company car, but the experience already had me planning to go independant when the time was right.

WHS. TestMangler only goes for blokes pretending to be women on internet forums.

Oh hang on....!

Listen love, I had those johnnies analysed for a court case. They're all used and they've all got the old man's DNA on.

It's what we in the business call a Bute Trophy Cabinet.

I said, "You're not senior anything mate, I've got johnnys in my wallet older than you". .

No you didn't you lying . You said, "Yes sir, what can I do for you sir". Internet blowhard.

My current gig is with IBM. The rate is pants but it's a nice place to work.

I hope you are a better B.A than you are at reading rate cards,

Never mind. The simple truth is that whenever a client lets one of the big firms into the door it costs them far too much for far too little. I am about to start a new gig and the first job will be getting the partners into bid for the work. None of the normal boys will be on that list...

No, what you mean is that Accenture are charging their client a grand a day for a 'senior consultant' who's been out of Uni for two years. The graduate is actually getting about £28K per annum.

I was hired out to Accidenture as a permie with a smaller insultancy firm, several years ago. Clientco paid Accidenture about 1200 euros a day, Accidenture paid my boss 600 and I was paid about 22k p.a. Clientco was somewhat miffed that they got me, with only a few years experience at the time but having to pretend I was one of the top testing gurus in Europe, I was rather miffed about sleeping in the tuliptiest hotel in Amsterdam. End result; I left and became a contractor. Everyone happy.

My instinct is to hate them but my experience of this is that clients are at fault andif they do their jobs it can work out well. I delivered a project with an excellent and good value piece of non-IT consultancy from inequality of the big names. Their rate card was sleep but we got our 500k worth.
