Is there a difference in salary whether you focus on public sector or private sector as a consultant?

Public sector pay is not lower... you’re thinking federal, which has nothing to do with public sector... public sector is state government and education. Folks staffed on PS projects end up there just like they’d end up in O&G or CPG projects.

Federal tends to pay less than commercial

You won’t get a choice little buddy - you’ll come in and be staffed on whichever project has an opening requiring your skills...

Public sector pay is slightly lower

Public sector falls within commercial consulting at Deloitte and is different than federal so pay will match commercial

Public sector is merging with federal come June so it may change soon

They aren’t merging per-se... they’ll be sub-market offerings within the government market offering...

Fed rates are brutally low
