Both vary so greatly, it’s hard to say.

OP, very curious to hear how an elite MBA has served you in the cleared world. Seems super rare for that to be a factor - only thing that seems to matter is if you're a retired full bird colonel, former GS-15, and/or elite intel / special forces background. I agree with the above - you'll want to target Senior Associate roles. You'll probably get a look with your profile but competition is extremely fierce in non-technical areas (cyber is a VERY different story).

@bah1, yeah I know a 31-year-old non-technical, homegrown SA. I'm sitting pretty as a 35-year-old A. Sigh. Trying to hit LA before age 36.

Op, just left BAH as Lead Associate in high COL metro. I think 170 base would be Sr Associate and above, unless you have a hard to find tech skill. Feel free to shoot me a DM

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
