I've worked in the federal space in management consulting for my whole career. I am looking to make a switch to the private sector. What are the best ways to relay that my skills in federal consulting are transferrable to private sector work?

Why do you want to switch.

What skills are unique to federal consulting? Maybe extreme patience and while awaiting decisions. In that case try a consulting firm that specializes in global clients with a European leadership.
