@jschauma I thought that's just called "consulting"

Nah, the difference with ordinary consulting is that, agree or not, with a consultant you always pay double.

@axnxcamr @cy @jschauma As someone who has done a fair bit of consulting, usually the job is more one of telling senior management how stupid they're being without needing to worry about getting fired. And getting paid double for it (although in fact they're paying for salary plus overhead, not really just double your salary).

I'm totally wondering why I'm getting well-actuallied on a joke I made in reply to a joke made in reply to a joke.

This feels undeserved, really.

Also, I work in IT. As a consultant...

@axnxcamr @cy @jschauma Probably because the text didn't convey to me that it was a joke. Much as my response wasn't intended to make you feel attacked.

Don't worry, I didn't feel attacked.

Since it was clear (to me) the OP wasn't serious, I didn't feel the need to make it obvious that I was joking.

It kind of was in the spirit of the thread.

Anyways, no hard feelings.
