Your firm was charging just over 2x, but in the US it's not uncommon to see the client billed 3x what the consultant makes. This is especially true if there are subcontractors.

Pretty sure i was billed at 10x when I started at Andersen Consulting in 1990. My starting salary was 21.5k.
I don't doubt it, for one of the Big Names. I know 3x is common even in smaller shops. I don't doubt that places like Wipro, Infosys and the other big names that work the US H-1B market have much larger markups.
Can confirm, at a big 4, billed out at 8x
