So, that's $34k/year for a half-time consultant. Ok, hire someone full
time for about what? $60k or so, for someone worth having that has a
little experience? Don't forget all of those extra costs associated with
having an employee, such as the employer's portion of taxes, benefits,
training, etc. I bet that $60k/year employee winds up costing when
all is said and done, over $70k/year...
With the consultant, you're not responsible for their salary (directly, at
least), you're not responsible for their benefits, and you're not responsible
for their professional development.
Sounds like you've got a decent deal going with the outsourced solution.
Make sure you crunch your numbers before making a choice that you may
ultimately regret...
