There are different types of consultants. The bad rap consultants get is based on the stereotype are that they are expensive and deliver a poor-quality job. And this stereotype exists for a reason. Most consultants ARE bad, and deliver poor work.
I am a consultant. And my firm focuses on clients where we have short engagements and focus on specialty work that you can't easily hire for.
The type of work I do doesn't get you cut, because you're in and out and try to deliver a great value to your clients, and you keep them for years in repeat engagements because you do it and can prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt.
As for the former type of consultant, you'll get cut, and you'll get cut so fast your head will spin. And the reason you'll get cut is because your client wishes it could just hire employees, but sometimes they can't and they find consultants instead.
