I have 4.5 YOE (1.5 in consulting) with a TS/SCI. Also have a terminal degree. Mostly a generalist consultant, but have done some project work in the supply chain realm. Looking to make a jump. Currently at $95k, but looking to make a jump to utilize my clearance. Any leads from fellow 🐠? Interested in BAH and D, but willing to look elsewhere.

Terminal degree?

There lies the difference. I am STEM and poly. I am technical and can’t do PowerPoints because I was busy honing my skills. Def a lesson to learn that D is committing daylight robbery on those STEM & poly salaries.

Do you have an FSP?

Unfortunately not. Just TS/SCI.

Have you considered learning new skills in the areas of data analytics, cloud computing or cyber security? These three areas can get you higher paying positions without a technical degree.

Data analytics - you may not know Python or R, but you can master SQL and BI software like Tableau in less than a year.

Cyber Security - there are plenty of non technical positions that deals with policy for example. Getting a Security+ cert should be a good start and it’s easy to pass with some effort.

Cloud Computing - there are AWS and Azure certs that are for practitioners that you can start with. DoD is making this a priority for the next 5 years so I would recommend getting familiar with this if you are targeting positions at Deloitte or Booz Allen

If you want to stay as a general cleared consultant, look for PMO positions and make sure you have strong business/financial exp. working toward PMP or MBA.
