In-house depends on how closely related your gov job is to what your IHC one would be. In my world (finance) former regulators have no problem going in house to advise on the regulations they have expertise in. But I can’t speak to your world.
That's what it's like in govcon too. Revolving door you can ride through your career
It’s probably doable but procurement roles are pretty much the bottom rung for in house positions and often don’t pay well, have as good WLB, or have as good exit options.
Government procurement is more like a regulatory role than normal commercial procurement. Its sales side plus a lot of compliance work for in-house, and litigation type work at firms and in government.
Not in my experience, but my government work differed from yours. I worked for a certain labor agency.
Do you have no private sector experience at all?
No
I too am legal council for procurement in a multinational tech company. Tech companies that sell to defense, aerospace etc , like to have attorneys with your niche experience because of ITAR, FAR and DFAR. I guess what I’m trying to say is that …It just depends on who you ask.
Is this still available
Notwithstanding the current unofficial recession, you absolutely can. I'm also in that space and most of my coworkers who went to the private sector went in-house. The usual suspects are your best bet, the Lockheeds, Microsoft/AWS, deloittes, mitres and SAICs and Ai so on. Then you have mixed big entities hiring their own public sector counsel but most business is commercial, and newish smalls hiring *a* GC who will mostly do govcon but also probably cover regulatory, employment, corporate, etc.
That said, the fat years are over. Hiring is weak and hiring in govcon and DC are both cratered. If you have a job hold on while you can. By all means apply, but don't expect much. The market is flooded and opportunities are shrinking. Hopefully in a year and a half things will perk up again
Midterms and a congress that might actually give a shit about impoundment and capping the trade war
