Lockheed doesn’t consult anymore. Pretty sure it’s the same for Raytheon, but not positive.

Down to refer?😁

Booz Allen .. lots of technical type of work

Ik a couple of ex business majors who sort of picked up some coding languages and work at BAH. SQL, Python, etc.

We do work with all the contractors but not for the fed gov. Non-cleared work for the most part. Most backgrounds are engineering or business

What’s your specific skill set? We do general strategic and management consulting for A&D primes, tier 1s, etc. non engineering work focused on business side.

Deloitte

GDIT, maybe Leidos, etc.

Yea also check out IDA

Smaller contractors pay better! Experience matters a lot though.
