Anyone here pivot from politics/campaigns to consulting? Worked at one of the national committees for a few years and decided to get my MBA as a working professional to try and transition. Any advice appreciated!

One of my colleagues did. It is helpful since he came with a different perspective and brought other ideas.

I would imagine it would be a much easier transition if you're focusing on consulting in the political/public sector realm. You've already got some solid experience, so your background would make you very valuable.

I’m a woman in my mid 20s and constantly face situations where people outside of cyber (still within the company) that I’m dealing with (older men in particular) who always push back against my cyber/technical recommendations even with managers cc’d. I studied, earned certs, and worked hard to get to where I am. Is it bc of my gender and age? In all honesty, I’ve written recommendations that male counterparts voiced in the past that had ZERO pushbacks.
