KMPG (Federal) vs AFS for starting a career? I’m at AFS in ServiceNow at the moment, but feeling stagnant in my growth/learning. KPMG recruiter said projects move fast and I feel like I’ll be a good learning opportunity if I get the offer…plus the PTO is hard to beat

I think ACN has a more robust federal offering? Just because that's what the recruiter says, doesn't make it true.

I agree, however my project has be pigeonholed in a sustainment role with no opportunity for building a more technical foundation. I’ve brought it up several times over the last year but it doesn’t seem like that’s going to change anytime soon

funny

Is there a reason you’re looking to move to another gov focused org? E1 is correct, AFS is huge. Personally, I’d only move for a more senior position, is this a lateral move or will you be going over at a higher level? Also, how far away are you from a promotion at AFS?

My current role isn’t offering any technical growth. I’ve brought it up several times during the last year but it seems like I may be stuck in this role if I don’t leave

funny

KPMG Fed does have a variety of offerings and pretty spread out in the public sector in terms of client base. are you looking to do anything specific?

KPMG takes better care of their folks than AFS does, especially in the cyber practice. I heard raises this year for us at AFS are going to be minimal.
