(http://www.grabsent.com/blog/2014/2/4/the-banes-of-business-consultants) - No, you’re not getting paid,” is something I’ve wanted to say, have said and probably will continue to say to a business consulting firms. Have I actually hired a firm? No, but it’s one of my keywords and it fit. I’ve also hired individual consultants. Mostly, they’ll be running their own tech consulting company or web development company. And mostly they suck.

Not Worthy of the Pay
“No, you’re not getting paid,” is something I’ve wanted to say, have said and
probably will continue to say to a business consulting firms. Have I actually hired a
firm? No, but it’s one of my keywords and it fit. I’ve also hired individual
consultants. Mostly, they’ll be running their own tech consulting company or web
development company. And mostly they suck.

Unwarranted Criticism Consultants
They work for themselves, as many of us do, but many issues present themselves
with these people. They are hard to hold accountable, hard to track, over-reaching
and exceptionally opinionated. I would appreciate the alternate point of view if I
were hiring them to be “unwarranted criticism consultants”, but alas, I am not.
And I would rather you build what I have asked without spending 2 days doing
nothing and 10 minutes telling me why protected forms are
unnecessary. One, because you’re wrong and two, because if I pay someone, I
expect work.

Finding a Business Consultants
I have not used any of the large firms, so I can’t complain. I also can’t speak for
100% (I’m rounding up here) of the individual consultants. But I can complain
about my experience.
My advice for you if you are seeking out tech consultants, it, computer, web, whathave-you would be to either learn how to code yourself -- I understand this is a bit
of a reach, so please hold out until after this unnecessary segue -- or to hire a fulltime developer. But be careful who you hire.
