This is not unusual for a consulting firm. When I worked for
KPMG Consulting, I was aghast at the nominal rate they
billed me out at. Frequently, they would discount that rate.
It was unusual for any client to pay the full amount. I
worked in the government sector, and all the contracts I was
privy to contained some sort of discount factor, often
reaching 50% or more.
I also never saw anywhere's near the rate I billed at, but
they did pay me quite well. I never had cause to complain.
