> with consulting there are no certifications, no licensing — it’s kind of a Wild West mentality

I imagine how bad it would become if you'd have to get an official certification to do consulting work

Kind of surprising it hasn't happened. That's the sort of regulatory capture that the big firms would love to have.

even simply expanding consultants' liability is bound to help them: they have more capital and more lawyers to fight, while any small shop would be destroyed by the first liability-related lawsuit
