For those looking for unconventional exit opportunities:

My friend is in the air force, has a desk job, works anywhere from 9-4 to 8-6 at the worst, gets 30+ days off per year, and makes over $100K after 6 years. Other perks include Amex fee waivers, retirement, and healthcare.

Exit consulting to the military?

As a vet myself, you’re f*cking crazy.

Agree. BTDT

After 6 years?? I think that’s an unconventional exit among this set for a reason.

I don’t think the pay is that great… there are 9-4 government jobs that pay way more than that.

City government has interesting moderate stress jobs that pass $100k. Also, depending on your LOE not that hard to snag a federal job.

I left the Air Force to go into consulting and now work at a f100. Trust me you don’t want to go in the opposite direction…. I left the AF making 90k and I now make 600k. The retirement is nice, but that requires 20 years of moving around, dealing with incompetence, and not having the money to spend while you are young.

In the government consulting world this is called regression. There are some neat perks in the military, but I’d agree this approach is unconventional for a good reason.
