What strategy work is there in the public sector? Curious

Tons of stuff - everything from helping departments determine how spend their budget (literally), to helping states react to legislation or trends (ex: holy shit there’s a pandemic going on what do we do) and even telling the Navy how many missiles to buy next year.

Funny enough, you work at one of the biggest players in this space :)

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries. Part of me wonders if they are in such high growth right now that consultants can’t add as much value, thus maybe a smaller presence. Thoughts?

Been working on mostly (about 70%) public sector policy and strategy at Big 4 for most of my career. Often go up against MBB on RFPs and have a decent win rate. Would I be too senior to come in as a lateral hire? I guess it’s all about client networks at this level, and being government, it’s locationally dependent - so which markets have need?
