Oh and let me add. In Federal, if the clients love you then good luck getting fired. You can get away with murder. Feds are usually lifers and if you become a trusted partner to a GS14 and above then chances are the firm will want to leverage that relationship to grow business with that client.

Yes

Yes. The firm bills you out at twice the rate in commercial than they do in federal. The Feds have some heavy bargaining power and they give you 5 years of guaranteed revenue on each win. Now there are exceptions to that but that is usually the standard for the kind of work big companies bid for. To sum it up the firms pay you more as long as they can bill you out at a higher rate.

There is a $30k difference in 1st year Sr Associate salary at PwC. As a federal practice employee, I make less than my friends who are Associates in the Commercial practice.

Like others have & will say. It comes down to rates.

Low 70s (so pay diff is really 20-30k depending on city). Just to be clear - I'm not complaining. There are some positive tradeoffs.
1) I don't travel
2) I only work 40-50 hours/ wk
3) To my knowledge, PwC Public Sector has never had widespread layoffs. Even when I've been on the bench in the past, layoff is just not a concern in this environment.

Received a verbal job offer on Tues. $5k short of what I had said was my desired range but still up from my current salary. We set up a call for Thurs to discuss further. On Wed they sent me all benefits info. Thursday on the call I asked if we could either increase moving stipend or get closer to my desired salary. They said no, and I asked them to send over written offer and I would let them know by Fri. They then email they are no longer offering me the position and repost it the next day:
