Hi all. I’m a Major Program Manager for the Navy - 20 YOE in DoD acquisition, maxed out 15. I manage a Program Office, have managers that report to me and I work directly for for an Admiral with regular senior Pentagon engagements. Looking at private industry, what would an equitable or step up position be? My current industry counter parts are Program Managers for my program or their VPs of Programming and Plans and Engineering dependent on the topic.

That’s what you should be saying here for private/commercial - we’re selling you; not the government and people you know in your hierarchy.

Private industry as in going to a private company and contracting/consulting for the government still? Or private industry as in something totally non-government related? The answers to your questions vary quite a bit based on where you want to go and what you want to do.

Hello. Private company or defense company are options. I don’t want to be a support contractor. I don’t really want to go somewhere that I would worry about job stability on a daily basis - not that I’m not a high performer - more bc I know jobs can be more volatile.

I have a strong acquisition background and have been a top performer at every organization I’ve worked at. I’ve been a 14 for 8 years however the past year and half in new role has been exceptional with strong senior leadership support.

Do you have any 15 openings?

About what percent of reps hit their number at your company? I’ve been an enterprise AE in SaaS for 6 years and it’s like feast or famine at both companies I’ve been at. I’ve done solid but you can’t help but feel annoyed to see the same reps getting handed opportunities. Time at company and time in territory are huge factors but it takes some bumpy years to get there unless you get some momentum in your book walking in the door. Thanks for the tangent! Thoughts?
