McKinsey & Company I'm really trying to get out of the fed govt space and am at Guidehouse. I have a few interviews lined up, but in large it seems they are detracted by the government work on my resume.

I'd like to target getting closer to strategy work. Any insights on companies and roles I should target? I have an interview lined up with Capgemini Invent and am also in talks with recruiters at McKinsey & Company for a specialist (not strategy, in their transformation office).

How do you even do this! I’m at GH and have no idea where to begin

Same as GH1, been about half a year since I’ve joined CE&I as a campus hire but I would like to pivot. Any advice?

Get an MBA from top business program (M7).

So speaking from experience, unfortunately, government workers tend to get pigeonholed. MBA on-campus recruitment is one of the only ways to pivot into industry. Even then, recruiters still try to recruit you for roles that touch on government (ex: federal / govnt practice at consulting firms).

Otherwise, depending on where OP is currently, they can look at lobbying or government affairs functions within companies.

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?
