My leadership wants to plug me in to DoD work and suggesting I apply for a TS Clearance and a Sec+ cert. I'm hesitant as I'm unsure as to what type of career opportunities would be available in this space. My background is non-technical -cloud pre-sales & BD. Also, have a top 15 MBA.

I intend to apply for a cloud partner or BD role with Azure or AWS next year. Any advice if I should turn down this opportunity?

Azure and AWS are aggressively hiring for cleared positions. Already having a TS will make you a much more competitive candidate but you will still need to get your poly. Going this route could make you more technical and that will open up some more doors for you. I don’t think you have anything to lose.

Agreed, I don’t see what you could lose by doing this unless you just don’t have the time Or worried about the background check. Always best to learn more and have more credentials.

I'm shocked that you work for Booz and aren't aware of the opportunities in this space

Don't be shocked. The work at DoD is siloed and not socialized with other lines of business or teams because of the criticality of the data/information that they deal with.

Obv the DoD leaders are going to sell their work to new candidates entering the space pretty highly. I just wanted an outside opinion on this.

Thanks for your input though.
