Is there really a big difference in consulting pay if you work on the federal health side vs. private sector? My SO has 15yoe and Guidehouse only offered 145k with 12% bonus. Seems SUPER low when I see others making at least 170k+ for the same work. I don’t want to offend SO but definitely want to encourage countering such a low ball offer, if it’s indeed low ball. No masters and leaving Deloitte corp for consulting side. Thoughts?

Federal is usually 20-40% lower so that offer makes sense depending on the level, I imagine a manager?
