I’m a public sector analyst and am curious what kinds of exit opportunities are available within the next 2 years.

Anyone have any insights? Particularly for tech exits? Also interested in marketing/PR.

Pretty much the same exits you'd get if you were in commercial with your same skillset.

Your skills and experience are what make the difference, and about 90% of what you do in the public sector is directly applicable to commercial and industry.

If you're able to craft your resume and messaging well, it isn't significantly harder to exit public sector than commercial.

Not much if you’re not technical. Within government you can get stuff but it’ll pay less than consulting and that’s not really an option when you’re under 6 figures already. Switch to commercial ASAP and unless you want to be in the public sector for life.

Lol you can exit to commercial jobs from GPS

People in this thread- what do you mean when you say technical? Very broad term. Are we talking about tech implementation? Coding? Just something in your toolkit besides excel?

In my context (RE: my answer in a reply to a comment above), I'm a data scientist. Coding, machine learning R&D, package development, etc. So that's my frame of reference.

Feeling so down right now…I spent months trying to get into a tech company. And when I finally got in, I was then laid off two months into the job. This past month, I applied to 300+ jobs and had 30+ interviews. None of them led to offers due to hiring freezes or internal hires. I just went through 10 interviews with a non-tech company and I don’t know if I will get an offer. I am just so tired of everything. If anyone knows of any PM roles (hardware/software), please let me know. YOE: 2

While negotiating the offer the recruiter came back to me and said "We’re working through headcount planning right now. The position you applied to is closed". Looks like a hiring freeze. Does this mean layoffs are coming up? What about the candidates (like myself) who cleared HC and was in negotiating process?

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".
