The answers we get from leadership are all over the place. Basically, I've made peace with the fact that it could be all over very soon if things keep going the way they're going. I've made plan B's and C's. Come what may.

Taking advice for plan B and C! I’m up for promo this year, and really disheartened and burned out at this point. Being on the toxic and demoralizing client site all day is getting to me. Before, I was looking forward to the strong M promo chance and finding a new contract. Now… don’t know what to do. Been a fed consultant a long time, but only KPMG ~4 years

I’m told there’s discussion at high levels that a lot of this is just for show - the administration trying to see how far they can push and what they can get away with in the first 100 days, knowing that so much of it will end up in court and not take effect. Whether that’s true or not, I have no idea. Could also just be that the friend who said that was just trying to make me (and himself) feel better about the coming implosion.

The bench is stacked, but anyone that has been deemed a low performer in the last few cycles and on a project are being replaced by high performers from the bench. So it's rough if you've not done well the past few cycles are may be let ago while being staffed.

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.

What's the market these days for someone with not-great technical skills, 12 YOE, TS clearance, hard-to-find/unique skillset, elite masters, middle management in DoD contracting, experience with critical/high profile roles?

I'm thinking 120-135k would be bad/mediocre, 180-195k would be possible/a stretch, and 160-170k would be doable/realistic. Thoughts? Not interested in Deloitte.
