I am thinking of making the switch to the federal government (slow, I know). Do you think if I wanted to make the switch back to consulting in a few years. Do you think this could hinder my career?

You might talk to someone in your firms Fed practice before you leave and ask what would be valuable to do/learn. Things might change while you are away, but this could give you something to focus on and help position you for a return...maybe at a higher level

I just need something more calm and less volatile. I see the work they lol... very relaxed people!

Depends on what you bring back to the firm, but generally no. If you can bring a network from fed, you'll might be even better off.

You'll be fine. If you have skills and/or contacts any beltway bandit will hire you.

4 YOE in Federal consulting. Currently a C at $85K and just received a 5/5 performance review with super positive feedback from my team and leadership. Noted that I was the top performer and was doing stuff at a senior level.

How realistic would it be to break $100K+ in jumping elsewhere? Either at C/SC level. Might be a silly question but I want see others perspective. TIA!

Hello fishes, I joined Nagarro on 24th of August. But still no project is assigned yet. Basically I am on bench. Now I am about to get an offer from ServiceNow. I really wanna join ServiceNow as it's a big product based organisation and the competition is really high compared to Nagarro. ServiceNow is giving me a joining date of 1st October. As I am still on bench, will I get released by Nagarro soon ? Because no project is allocated to me.

Manager made it clear he isn’t happy with how I’ve been doing some of my work lately. His messages to me instantly brought up a whole mental can of worms. I felt myself physically having a panicked reaction, and I realize it’s bringing up issues I had with a past boss. How do I get past this? I have journaled, changed jobs, etc., but these same types of (micro)managers are everywhere, and I can’t keep quitting and moving agencies.

I used to do staffing. Involved cold calling And spamming clients and emails. People treated recruiters as middlemen, a noise and felt disrespectful.
