Consulting firms are total crooks.

Before they used AI, they used just-out-of-grad-school interns...

People who've never work in consulting have no idea how crazy the gap is between the price of reports like these and the salary that's paid to the people actually writing them.

Well that’s the core idea - build an environment of hungry folks who don’t quite know how the world works and suck all that you can out of them.

That's something worker unions can help with, by enlightening members what a reasonable salary is. These consultancy companies often underpay their consultants. Sometimes the salary is egregiously low with the excuse that they are providing some kind of preparatory education for some length of time. The work of that same consultant that is "in education" is then heavily overcharged for.

I've heard some horror stories with these.

tl;dr Make use of a good union or org to find out what a good salary is and don't get yourself ripped off.

Amen to that. They rip off the consolutant and the customer.
