Man, you're really on this kick that Booz should be strictly an advisory company even though the advisory market is plummeting economy-wide, and even more so in the fed space.

We've been doing tech for 10+ years now, nothing is new on that front but the branding.

I'm not sure why you think we should completely flip our business model around to focus on a brand new, tiny segment.

If you want to start an advisory firm focused on advising firms trying to get into the fed space, by all means, go for it and I sincerely wish you the best. But that is the kind of change that would likely see us shed 90%+ of our staff and see our finances plummet.

Booz failed to adapt. It got fat and lazy from gorging at the government trough and saw no reason to be anything other than a staffing agency. What we're seeing now is a mad scramble to paper over a failure of leadership with marketing BS. Booz was always more about optics than outcomes so long as Wall Street was happy. Booz is no more a tech company than Golden Corral is a 5-star restaurant.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

I’ve been on the bench with less than 10% utilization for 3wks now. I’m a first year and the past month has been slower with not many new projects coming in.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise.
