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.

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

2) a product specialist role at Meta (FB). This told role product management, it’s analytics heavy. $107k base, 10% bonus, $30K stock.

At the end of the day, TC for both is similar. As far as exit opportunities I’m not sure what is better, so looking to get other people’s opinions.
