Good afternoon
I currently work for the federal government as a Management Analyst with a secret clearance. I’ve worked for the government just under 7 years. I am looking to transition into a contractor position preferably WFH. I also have my Masters degree Management & Leadership with roughly 5 years Financial experience working in the Banking Industry. Any and all assistance/resources on how best to pursue this track would be most helpful.

Kearney likes federal background and needs security clearance personnel. I got hired there straight from DFAS and they went hybrid/remote after COVID. Still had to travel to client site occasionally but it was overall a good gig. Would have stayed if it wasn’t offered full time remote with minimal travel from a competitor.

Any of the big 4 consulting firms would be happy to employ you, however, you will likely have to go into the office if you are placed in a role which provides consulting services for the federal government unless it’s unclassified work (FEMA, Treasury, OPM, etc)

That is not correct. I certainly don't have a representative sample, but I work in areas requiring clearances, and people with clearances only have to work onsite if they are actively handling classified material, or for important meetings. There are lots of positions that require a secret or even TS that are 80%+ remote, because they don't routinely touch classified stuff (which honestly is silly that the clearance is required in a sense but that's how it works, often).

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers.

So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
