I’ve always thought though that the first sign of a mature consultant is when they don’t want to throw out or rewrite everything the minute they walk in the door.
Many developers are used to tear down and rewrite as a modus operandi but most databases are never like that. The databases just need to be morphed over a period of time to a place that’s closer to where you’d hope it would be in the end. It’s all about deciding on appropriate compromises, none of which are how you actually wish it was.
