I’ve been a fed contractor for less than 4 years, everything before was private sector. I have really enjoyed my time as a contractor, the work that I do, and the clients I support. But all this uncertainty is very difficult for me. Yes, I have been thinking of going back to private. But we’ll see! Counting my blessings, very grateful to still have a job, and I feel for those who have lost their positions. In any case - it’s always a good idea to see what else is out there and not put all your eggs in one basket.

I am on a keep the lights on contracts that impacts people getting paid. Not saying anymore than that but when they don’t get paid - lots of noise happens. Just have to weather the storm. I am leaning towards in the next year or so going private industry. I have great skillset that can go both ways. Government contracting was just more stable than the dot com blowout which is when I got into it

Honestly debating jumping to private, but the stability isn’t always better over there either. Are you seeing any sectors in federal contracting that seem safer right now?

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.
