Makes sense for what purpose?

I guess it makes sense to compare them if you are considering moving from one to the other. The consultant gets paid more, but has a different tax, expense, benefit and risk profile. The rate itself is only one part of that overall calculation.

Which brings me back to the start of this thread, where I pointed out that consultants get paid a higher rate but the costs and risks are also not the same.
