Don’t worry about the company when it comes to consulting firms, but focus on the role. What matters is your experience. Will the experience you gain from x place get you to where you want to be in 5 or even 10 yrs?

Lateral, especially in federal work

Lateral or drop in federal to federal - otherwise its step up or down depending on if you are going from fed to commercial or vice versa.

At this point in the game... if you’re federal who cares? Federal is federal.

D1, a but late to this thread, but for federal positions is a Secret clearance sufficient, or is a TS/SCI necessary for most projects?

What are your thoughts about having to take an iq/personality assessment tests? It seems so outdated to me. I don’t think it predicts how you will truly perform at a job. I took a test like this for a startup once and they were concerned about my ability to speak up or behave in social settings. This was completely false. I present, interview clients, demo products, and facilitate meetings for a living. So what if I go home and shut down after work? I’m exhausted from speaking all day!
