When billing hourly it is more profitable (and not always ethical) to hire average people than top performers in every role.

This is true, too often, in poorly run and ineffective consulting firms who optimize best practices to mean what is best for them.

It’s not a great look but it’s usually quite literally what the client is paying them for. I view the companies maximizing revenue the same way I’d view a shark: it’s what they are, and you can always choose not to jump into the water.
