LLP here. Live and based in Arlington. Hi, @A1! 🙋🏼

Commercial here. There is quite a bit of commercial work in the area but it's often overshadowed by the sheer volume of federal work available.

Consulting in that area now 👌

Is it harder to get into commercial consulting in that area?

No harder than anywhere else.

I'm looking to leave CrossCountry Consulting after two months.
