Nope, check out competitors like Leidos or Serco and compare before you accept.

Zero chance. At BAH’s rate of salary increases it would take you 3-5 years to get to even

BAH underpays and that’s still true!

Depends on the contract/project budget. Message me.

Yeah that's not a bad pay cut at all for a federal position, especially IC.

Wait, I'm confused. You're considering leaving a fed job for an offer from Booz that is 20% lower? Or you are currently working for Booz and considering a 20% paycut to take an IC job? I think you need to rephrase your question. Bottomline, one should never accept a paycut when going from a gov to contractor position. Typically, should look to get 20-50% raise (or more), unless you have a military pension.

That’s what I’ve ended up deciding is the right path.

As long as you keep in mind that pay raises and cost of living increases are not guaranteed as a govie and keep that in mind during financial planning, it “could” be a positive. But it depends where, at what grade, what your career goals are, etc

Personaly, I would. That is not terrible to go work for the government. Lots of opportunities for growth there too.
