Any advice for a vet looking to get into federal consulting? I’ve got a TS/SCI with poly and several years of experience in change management and process improvement.

I don’t consider what they have me doing consulting. It’s very niche and my supervisor hasn’t been very helpful in the matter.

I’ll refer too if the others fall through. Deloitte is actively looking for TS/SCI

Veteran here too. I can refer to KPMGs fed management consulting. I could probably get you staffed immediately too on a few different engagements. One in the cleared space.

What kind of work are looking to do? My team is always looking for people with a poly. If your leadership isn't accommodating maybe my leadership can bring them around.

KPMG 1 if you have a burner we can chat offline

Accenture 1 I’m interested in any good opportunities so I’d definitely appreciate it

OP do you have a burner?

OP I wouldn’t be surprised if what you consider real consulting will likely be the same at other firms with the clearances you have. My brother experienced the same frustration at both pwc and Booz and went private sector. Just my take.

Don’t tell me that BA 1 lol. I do realize my clearance level makes my options very small as firms see that I have it and want to look me into those particular roles. I don’t mind cleared work, but I would like to have the option to do non cleared work if a project I was interested in presented itself. What did your brother transition to in the private sector?

Anyone familiar with Accenture’s Junior Military Officer Management Consulting program? Popped up in my LinkedIn feed. Searching didn’t turn up much

OP did you send an email to my burner?

OP my brother ended up going to a bank and doing system implementation type work. I told him that there was plenty of that same type of work in the public sector but I think because he was so pigeonholed with his clearances, he just assumed all federal consulting is lame and just basically glorified admin. The most interesting work I’ve done and most valuable to my resume has been when i only used public trust. My TS projects are not that interesting comparatively I recommend talking to other high cleared folks to see what they do. Might be easier to know what kinds of projects you want to work on. Maybe cyber?

KPMG 1 I thought I did but I don’t see it in my outbox. I’ll shoot one over now

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?

Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
