    it makes perfect financial sense but I've never actually seen that happen haha

    what I see is that once a project is finished it gets outsourced further to employees or contractors in south asia who know even less than the consultants did

      I've gotten that kind of offer when working in one of these contractor jobs a couple of times. but it was always from the absolute worst places that I would not consider working for directly, for any amount of money. like think paranoid executives building toxic workplaces where people sometimes die of stress-induced heart attack type shit. having a layer between me and them was protective and I was willing to "pay" 50% of my salary as protection money.
