Former BCG, worked a fed case and know the leadership there. If you’re joining the consulting team, application/requirements are no different but I believe you can opt in to Fed-only. You’ll likely travel much less, but I doubt it would be guaranteed. If you have deep industry knowledge, you could join the expert/knowledge team and be near 0% travel.

Agreed BCG1, if there is no cleared work at that moment the waste would be keeping a C on the beach when he/she can bill anywhere they are needed

Ouchies fed

The BCG folks I had met in DC were talented and appeared to have good work life. Worked with one on a paid strategy engagement at a non-profit and he was a really cool guy. Didn’t seem to travel too much, 45 hours or so per week.

BCG 1 is right. If you join Fed, you don’t exclusively work for them. Hiring happens with the rest of BCG but you can opt into Fed for clearance purposes and get assigned on more Federal projects (not just OSD/Pentagon)

I’m in Fed, true things said so far. Fed consultants are in the regular staffing pool but mostly focus on local public sector. Your ability to do only Fed work really depends on there being cases that come up at the right time. If no cleared people are needed at that moment you could be put on anything

Same as non-Fed. You don’t get recruited by Fed specifically. Network, talk to BCG recruiters. You only opt into Fed once you’ve been hired

I think Op is missing the point that there is no dedicated Fed practice and they might need to travel

Outsider tracking this thread as well- given that he has a TS SCI, would they still staff him on non Fed?

That is a costly resource to not utilize.

D1 it isn’t a costly resource because BCG isn’t paying any extra for it.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
