Anyone at Booz Allen, Accenture, Deloitte GPS, etc have experience working with ex-foreign service officers? How easy is it to transition from foreign service back to government services consulting work? Are foreign service skills at all sought after? Any thoughts would be welcome!

I worked with an ex-FSO. She is bright, capable, and competent - no different than any other experienced hire (at least from my perspective).

Yes many ex FSOs at Deloitte. A lot of Deloitte GPS practitioners are former govt. It’s relatively easy to switch but you’ll have to prep for interviews and there’s a bit of a learning curve as you learn core consulting skills.
