I spent my first ~3 years in transportation operations, got lucky with a more supply chain focused role for a med tech company then used that to springboard my education with an MBA focused on data analytics. It was the only way i get i could finally get away from a strictly logistics facing role, and into more strategic/business improvement roles. Now working in consulting with a plan to jump back to industry in a few year.

I guess my advice is, come up with a plan or roadmap and try to stick to it. It’s a long journey but worth it if you stay focused.

Good luck.

Do some internal work getting really clear on what you want not just from work, but from your whole life. Focus on relationships, personal growth, and work. Pay attention to what you’re passionate about; what excites you. Write it down. Review it. Refine it. Once you get clarity on your “life blueprint” you can start to explore.

If you’d like some help private message me and we can setup some time to speak, no charge.

Fish who have been feds,

I have been stuck deciding between two offers (both in IC, but one is more program analysis -similar to consulting work but on the fed side, and actual analysis).

The program analysis offer is at a higher GS level and a more well known agency, but is not what I’m interested in.

Does anyone have any advice on how to make a decision? Go with what I want to do, or go with the more well known agency and higher gs?
