Fascinating, because as a consultant almost always my clients are either the sort to build a vast mess of microservices with eventually consistent enterprise service buses for an internal tool with two dozen users OR they are trying to figure out how to update their one windows server 2016 instance without taking down production.
I'm usually trying to rein in the chaos of an over-engineered mess or explain docker containers and CI servers. Definitely makes for an interesting day switching between the two types of clients!
That being said, I prefer to work with smaller companies. I'm usually the only consultant, and I'm a freelancer not part of a larger consultancy. This probably significantly changes the types of teams I meet.
