New SC considering career switch. Starting to feel the bureaucracy, lack of innovation, and lower pay in federal consulting is limiting me potential. What companies/positions and salary would you recommend in DMV are? FAANG? Private OEM Aerospace & Defense operations strategy?

Any certs needed first?

Thanks again! I hadn’t even considered the fed side of FAANG, great suggestion. The more I think about it, I think it may be best to just start looking for a transition to commercial or at the very least something like FAANG fed. A bit worried that I’ll get pigeonholed to just government work if I continue down my current path.

As for the FS - currently isn’t a need for even TS/SCI on the projects I’m currently on, but I got lucky on a previous one they sponsored me. I could try to network to a project with a poly requirement, but I have a feeling that plus getting the poly would take much longer than I’d like to remain here.

Aerospace at Booz is pretty good and should lead to some good exit opps in defense/aerospace industry or big tech logistics.
