Consulting companies are ghouls in my opinion. 🤷♂️
I'm in IT consulting. I have personally done some really cool shit for my clients. Things they didn't have the talent to do themselves. Business management consulting and tax audit consulting is a completely different story. I don't help automate away jobs. I'm not presenting decks to strip companies and governments for parts. Needless to say, not all consulting is created equally and my hope is that there comes a time where this bubble bursts this push for AI dies on the vine.
Not trying to be snarky but what's the difference between IT consulting and MSP? The line is blurry I think
We help them build solutions that they then maintain and own. I’m in analytics. So we’re doing data engineering, security, and delivery.
Just to add the difference. Managed solutions typically has the consulting firm managing the maintenance. In some cases, they take over an existing solution vs the consulting company building something.
