Hi fishes,
Any guess how many people are laid off from Publicis sapient in past few days? Really scared for my future as I'm also under probation period and deeply regret for my choice of joining this firm...I don't understand why were they recruiting peeps when they were short of projects. Publicis Sapient

Quit for a smaller firm along your functional capability to do commercial work and then go back to a bigger firm if you want.
Transfer to commercial? At least that’s how I did it at PwC pre-Guidehouse
MBA then go commercial
I ended up switching to another firm to escape gov consulting.
yup. i used 'Accenture' as my current employer on my resume and LinkedIn to help distance myself a bit, but did keep 'us gov client' for my project experience. Focus on those skills that apply to any client, translate any gov language to the commercial world (i.e. GS15 to Directors), and be realistic about differences. I explained some of my own challenges with the client (i.e. red tape, slownes of decisions and how I worked around those) and directly addressed some shortcomings as a result (no experience with large scale direct customer research) taking time to explain how I'm prepared to learn/fill those gaps.
Why would you be pigeonholed?
I started in federal. Moved to commercial once I had built the network, now work in Corp strategy. So yes definitely possible
Plenty of ppl on my teams left for commercial industry - amazon, Facebook, Marriott, google, Samsung. The key is what type of work are you doing and is it transferable or is it government only or operational.
