Generally speaking, what salary range would I get offered if I made the jump to consulting in the DC area? (Current GS-13 Program Analyst, former contractor, PMP, Secret Clearance)

Would be a senior consultant here possibly a manager but more likely a SC
Would target 120-140

What skills/experience does one need to get hired as a Deloitte manager?

Really appreciate the responses, helps me have a better idea of what I might be getting myself into.

99k -133k

YOE? Skill set (technical vs functional?)

Def over 100! I have 4-5 YOE, PMP, data analysis background and no clearance and make 110 at AFS

You could probably shoot for 130-170 depending on wlb balance of the firm. Tbh it's really, really, really not worth it even if/unless you can get closer to 190. Government benefits are really that much better than contractor. You're far better off making a play for 14.

like

190?! I would quit my GS13 in an instant if I got an offer for 170... even if it means I have to work 60+ hour weeks. I guess I value money now versus money later.

If that's the case you should go contractor. You've done it before so you should know the game, warts and all. If you have the right skill set you could probably get an A offer at Booz 20-40% above your current gov salary. IMHO Booz is far and away the best DoD contractor and/but I have seen retired 0-6's currently making $145k try very hard, unsuccessfully to get a gs12 target 14 and others with far higher salaries and same stats unsuccessfully try to get a 14. So be careful what you wish for.

Solid points... things to consider, especially that last part. Thanks!

I left as a GS-13 with 4 YOE for contacting. I went from around $105k to $120k. Two years later I'm around $155k. I'm happy with my choice. Generally I work 45 hour weeks and enjoy my team and like the work way more than when I was a Fed.

like

I was growing stagnant. The GS world does not afford technical folks the ability to keep there skills sharp. That was enough reason for me to leave. My field (DS), requires staying on top of technology. Can't do that as a Fed.

like

Probably like 65k-90k range for an analyst/senior analyst

Got it, I would say you’ll end up at 120, but you should ask for 140

Do recruiters and Hiring Managers actually review and read resumes? Also tech companies that sell SaaS, what is it with the requirements of having 10 years or more if technical sales experience? Also the ramp up period is not realistic. Average sales cycle for a reputable SaaS provider is 12-24 months. How on earth a start up can state that their ramp up period is 90 days? The company hasn’t had any new sales either. Start up CEO’s… be realistic or seek enough funding to operate.
