Loved it!!!

Here is my take the typical questions you will ask both:-

Engineer:-
"Please create a database (with user interfaces) for managing a payroll".

Consultant:-
Version 1. "I want to create a payroll software. What Operating System Database software, hardware, etc. should I use."
Version 2. I have this system doing foo. I think this os going slow. Can you look into it to improve the speed.?
