MBB🐠who assist with screening: Listing which projects were federal vs commercial helpful on a resume? I’ve done both at Booz, about to be looped into a referral (generalist track) but embarrassed to ask directly. TIAđŸ™ŒđŸŒ.

At least at McKinsey there’s no real need to explicitly say federal vs commercial although the context would be pretty clear. Either you helped a government do something or you helped a client company do something.

Euh i don’t know what’s the stigma he’s talking about... we do a ton of government work

I would find that as extraneous detail taking up space you could use to highlight something else.
Also, don’t just list your projects. It doesn’t really say much about you and your skills. Instead focus on the impact you made on a project

@Mck1 is what I imagined! Curious, would you say there’s a stigma with federal clients? My most interesting projects have been on that side. Colleague of mine keeps emphasizing I should highlight commercial experience over federal given how it’s “perceived”, but I think this stems from his team doing staff aug work, and mine not...

Yeah what M3 said, zero stigma. We care about leadership, personal impact, entrepreneurial drive, and problem solving. Whatever ways you best inhibit these skills should be what you showcase.

@Mck1,2&3, thank you all for the perspective. Very helpful & encouraging!

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?
