How does working with a consultant work?
Recently hired at Microsoft full time and I'm teamed up with a consultant to learn and work together on a project. They said they are currently building the team out and I'm basically one of the first members for this project. Now I'm wondering why they got a consultant, aren't they meant for short term projects? Are they trying to save money? Doesn't Microsoft have a ton of money. TC: 190k
Is that azure?
Yeah
I m consultant at google cloud and its fulltime role. I work with engs and gcloud clients to implement custom solutions. I handle client relationship, business requirements, the scope of work, overall tech architecture and project management. I decide what needs to be done and manage project, engs decide how it needs to be done and they implement it
Custom client solutions speed up the cloud adoption
We work on infrastructure and developer productivity, so I'm not sure how this fits.
Consultant is a broad term, without more details cant know what exactly it entails, gcloud has infra consultants as well
I'm actually an Ex-consultant. Consultants get hired when there is a project that requires a specific skillset or additional staff that a company doesn't have time or budget to hire. Consultants also get hired for projects to be a place to place liability when a project doesn't go well.
What that mean "place to place liability"?
Consultant also means contractor. It's up to your boss to staff the team however they like. Contractors can be a fast way to staff aug
Do they go through the same grueling interview process?
