Considering making the jump to PwC (fed). Approached by a Partner. Good move for career trajectory? Is PwC fed practice solid? I'm M/25/sr. cons level/pre B-School. PwC comp would easily be +25%

I have heard the federal practice is rough / abusive from several colleagues who left federal practices. If the salary / role makes sense it could be good temporary jump.

I was thinking of making the jump for a year or two tops and heading to b school...rough and abusive doesn't sound fun. Current gig at BAH is as stress free as it can get.

No it's not hard. Pretty free flowing between the two

Do it! Public Sector is great if you like the work/client base. I made the move from Federal to commercial and it took about a year.

Like PWC 2 mentioned it can be relatively simple to transition out of fed. There are plenty of practices who would take on an experienced senior associate. Once you hit manager, crossing over could become more difficult.

What comp are we talking about?

OP I'm a Sr. Cons leaving BAH also. Heading to Deloitte federal. BAH underpays so much but you are right, stress free. On the flip side, I'd rather be in a challenging position now while we're young.

@P1, is it hard to get out of fed and go commercial at PwC?

@P3 - west coast, DoD (Navy)

Making high 60's right now. Don't know a specific number from PwC but just by knowing the market in my area, I know it will be at least 25% increase. Side note, what kind of tuition assistance does PwC offer?

@BAH1 - agree completely. Trying to grind now so I have a better shot of relaxing a bit down the road. Best of luck at Deloitte. You west or east coast?

How does contract to hire work? If I’m offered $37/hr on w2 for 3 months and then possibly a permanent position, how much can I expect to get annually as a full time company employee as a BI data analyst II? I have a M.S. and certificates in DA but this will be my first job as DA.
I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.

Hello, I am a junior business administrator working in advisory operations. I have been with the company for 6 months, and was employed along with 2 other colleagues. I have picked the job up really fast and am even doing some “extra curricula’s” I really love my job. However I have recently found out I am being paid the same as an apprentice on my team, I usually do at 3 x the work he does whilst also doing my Cert CII.
