Vet here too…PMP, PMI ACP, Lean six sigma Green and Black, Secret Cl… interviewed with 3 out 4 big4 for Federal Management consulting and the biggest thing I learned is that you can make way more money on the commercial side of Big 4.

I’ve since restarted my interview journey focusing on the commercial side of big 4, currently interviewing with 2 out 4 Big4s and the salaries are literally 40k-60k higher.

My advice is to consider the commercial side, determine your transferable skills and find a position you like. You will blow way past 100k and have better exits.

But…at the end of the day, it’s all about what makes you happy! 😃 Good luck! 👍🏻

Kpmg has a great PMO division (which I'm in) and we serve a lot of government clients, have ESG work, and everything else. Very strong Veteran network you can be a part of too! Have worked with at least 6 veterans in my short tenure here and they all love it. Happy to refer if you'd like :) thanks for your service
