Sure - there are overheads in running a company where people like to work, and there's only so much that can come from the top line in a consulting business.
Parent to my comment was responding to somebody suggesting that consultancies provide "really good pay and benefits" and I was suggesting that this isn't true, currently, in the tech industry.
Yeah, I missed that the parent was suggesting good pay and benefits. My point is that the consultancies generally pick one or the other, because otherwise they'd be priced out of the market - even for really good staff that are hard to find elsewhere.
