I know about this pay because as a previous Domain Administrator, Database Administrator, and Webmaster, I have seen their paychecks at F50 companies. Here is some new information for many of you. Consultants are always paid 1.5 times the amount of the average pay if not double. This comes with no benefits, no permanent job, and extreme pressure to be the perfect expert with no mistakes. The goal is for the corporation to usurp your value offerings, so it becomes theirs, then they throw you out on the streets. Their corporation of employees are mainly cabal related select families of incompetent workers that manage and need the consultants to get real work done. Now here is the kicker. What you thought they were being paid is only a partial because at the end of the year they get bonuses depending on how much the company profited from all the usurping. Some of these financials and F2000 companies will get employee bonuses anywhere from 20% to as much as 500%. So that mid level cabal related manager is not making $100k but up to $500k at your expense.
