Looking to apply to BAH in D.C. - will I be restricted to Consultant entry level or is there hope for SC? If C, how long before promotion and target salary?

I came in as a SC with no experience & a masters degree - 70k in DC.

You’ll likely be SC around 65-75k depending on who you interview with

I can’t imagine you not getting SC unless you’re particularly green in the relevant areas they’re looking for. Good luck!

Honestly tho, if you could come in as a C with the pay you want, I wouldn’t say it’s bad...C’s are hourly at Booz, limits the amount of overtime you’ll do

Thank you everyone! Reason I ask is BAH postings seem a bit inconsistent. Example:
1) one job posting is Strategy SC w/10 years exp. 2) Another posting shows Strategic Mgmt Analyst w/ no exp.
3) another shows ‘Biz Strategy Analyst’ w/3 yrs exp.
4) Then there’s a Strategy & Policy Consultant posting that says “some exp. req.” but does not have a minimum amount of yrs. listed ...
* would the screening system automatically skip my resume if my resume doesn’t reflect 2-3 years of experience for SC postings?

No, they determine your level after the interview.
I was originally interviewing for a C position, but was brought in as a SC.

Apply to anything that is interesting to you or you find requirements for, even better if you have someone to refer you in

Thanks SC1! And I see your point as to coming in at C and being eligible for OT but I still think the title bump would also be good earlier on in career too.
Is it frowned upon to apply to 2-3 jobs at the same time (if they overlap in similar interest areas)?

Personally I wouldn’t say so, when I was referred in, I picked three positions and then applied to each, interviewed for 2, got both, then chose which I enjoyed more

Oh yeah, if you get the money you want and it’s at C, take C lol, you’ll have unbeatable work life balance. But obviously do SC if you’re more career oriented and want to run up the ladder asap.
