Considering some job openings at Booz Allen for government work but I want to make sure I know what I am getting into career wise.

Any advice for certain groups to avoid, the type of career paths you can progress through, and other gotchas? I don't want to end up in a delivery center when I may have wanted a more traditional advisory role with more firm initiatives.

If it is for a very technical role, you are in very good shape.

If it is for anything else, please run. The company is trying to transform itself into an advanced technology company and its not going well. The stock price is down over 40% year over year and there has been a lot of layoffs.

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
