Anyone exit from consulting to aerospace & defense?

Secret clearance, T20 MBA - still have the itch to be linked to this community in some form, but not sure what type of roles or even companies I should be eyeing.

Planning to remain in consulting another 6-12+ months at least - very generalist experience with different projects so far; just figuring out my next step..

Thanks, ladies & gents!

Top MBA I would recommend the strategy firms.

Avascent recently bought by Oliver Wyman, nextfed, renaissance, csp, Fairmont consulting, and wolfden.

I think there is a new spin off of csp but can't remember their name.

SA1 do you do any of that work? Or have any POCs that do ?

Take my comment with a grain of salt but in aerospace & defense (I'm assuming you're referring to government), nobody cares about the pedigree of your MBA. You could have an MBA from University of Phoenix for all they care. It's just a check the box.

At your companies, do most upper-level marketing employees have an MBA? Is it from a top school?

I am currently renting and my lease is not up until October 2021, however I found a good deal on a home and scheduled to close in June 2021.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?
