Does my military experience count as YOE…if I apply to Supply Chain/Operations Strategy positions @ Big4/Accenture? I’m just trying to understand how the consulting world views military experience-is it leadership potential? Relevant industry knowledge? I have 8 yoe as a “manager” in the army, leading Operation and Supply Chain initiatives (six sigma certs etc). I have other YOE too but just don’t know if I should include the military stuff or not.
