Specifically considering OCS and JAG Corps (I’m a licensed attorney). Is this doable as a consultant? Thanks in advance

DONT DO IT!

JAG can direct commission. Avoid OCS if possible. It's doable as a consultant but there will be challenges. Whether it's worth it depends on what you're looking to get out of a military career.

I went through Army OCS a couple years ago. Very doable.

Agree with @P1, mobilization is very real right now. If you join, be ready.

P1 is absolutely correct - I have 5 years left...and just can’t get out now...just started my consulting career too...just sucks.

Accenture: were you prior active duty? Or did you go reserves straight away?

JAG is 8 years versus OCS route (6 years + 2 IRR). Need to think about the two timelines...

PwCOP - National Guard - 7 yrs, Active-4, Reserve 4

What does pwc offer when it comes to diff pay?(If at all)

I was working for ad agency here in Minneapolis and they reached out to me on LinkedIn without a job description saying that they wanted a seasoned digital project manager which I am. I accepted the offer and started working for this agency and now 6 months in they are asking me also do Wireframes and Content planning together with a project manager role as their team is super small and they do not have dedicated ux/ui and seo members in place.I said that is not my part of the job and parted.
