Has anyone been successful negotiating with an employer to recognize 4 years of active duty qualifies as 4 years of work experience?

Yes. In fact, I was credited with 4 years of Reserve experience as 4 years of project management experience. I did deploy during those times but it wasn’t all active time. I could demonstrably point back to projects completed each year as verifiable experience though.

Yes. My company included that as management and government experience

Was your job in the military at least somewhat related to your current role? If it wasn’t, they’d be justified in not treating it as eligible work experience.

Yes

Absolutely

Is this because of some hard internal metrics for pay based on YOE?

As long as there’s some way to link your service work to the JD then yeah sure.

I joined as an intern and worked my way up. Got promoted to manager in 4 years. If I had joined as a manager without the skills I've learned, I would have set myself up for failure and been looking for a new job within the first year.

For those of you who got out at 10, do you wish that you rode it out to 20? I’m at a crossroad and I’m not sure what to do. Have some active/reserve time, wrapping up graduate school, and am now considering either a) come back to the business world or b) go active and retire before 50 and live off a nice pension. Obviously there are draws to both. I’m an officer for what it’s worth so I can realistically retire at O-5, MAYBE O-6.
