Pretty new to federal consulting. Is it normal to experience extremely slow days. Like there’s nothing to do because our deliverables have been submitted and the client is on vacation.

Hi guys 👋🏻
So I joined IBM 5 months back, was on bench for this long and got project just a week back.

My PSP and People Manager have been kind of lenient, cooperative and kind to me because I was never told I will be put in PIP, I have to enter project not matching my skillset etc etc.

Is it wise to appreciate both of them via blue points for their support?

I just got a mail saying I have 200 bluepoints to send out appreciations if I feel like.

What's going on in Charlotte? Let's use this thread to share events, concerts, holiday festivities, and other fun things happening in the city this weekend!

I have ADD and occasionally make small mistakes in my work, like leaving a word missing when editing sentences, small formatting errors or leaving an internal comment in drafts sent to clients. All partners have been very understanding and care about the quality of my work, and no client has ever complained. Partners and clients praise my work.

But now, one partner has become super mad and when I explained ADD, he said:

I have offers from different organization, Could you please help me to decide which one would be great choice.
All are for Bigdata profile with almost same package.

Yoe- 9, Big data Exp-3
Iris
Saama technology Pune
Epam Systems - Shell Market project
HCL - Deutsch Bank project
Impetus

Deciding factor- Job security, WLB, yearly hike and scope of learning.

Can someone help me with some referrals/opportunities for a Program Manager/ Project Manager? Also if you can you tell me my ECTC is apt for my experience or am I low-balling myself in the current times?

Tech Stack:
Workday HCM, SAP HCM, Concur, Change Management, VMS

YOE: 8 years

CCTC: 30 LPA
ECTC: 60-70 LPA

If you take vacation, is the onus on you to make up that billable time? If so, how do you enjoy long vacations?

Hello, in my previous organisation I worked in development domain (Oracle IAM Tool and Java)and my post was software Engineer, i joined Wipro as project Engineer in April 2022 and was assigned non technical project as an analyst.

Hello 🐠-
I recently started in a sales role. Have a heavy consulting background (20 years) imagine big four and SI experience. Question - from here how easy or difficult is it to move internally. What areas within SalesForce value the consulting skill set. I have managed large teams and P&L of $20M annual. Big name client experience and complex professional services sales and delivery experience with global teams (India, UK, Latin America).

I got an offer from LTI for Senior Software Engineer Role with P2 grade in Banking and Financial Services BU.
3.9 YOE
Tec Stack : Java, Spring, springboot.
How will the WLB, culture , leaves , work , hikes be in LTI?
Note : I have an offer from People Tech Group for Amazon client for similar pay.

Why the resource team is wrongly mapping to higher level management role project proposals. Like 4 yr experienced people are being proposed for 10 year experience requirement.
Does anyone else faced this? LTI

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?

Hi fishes,

This annual appraisal I have got a good % of appraisal increment on my salary but I was not promoted to a senior developer (although I have been mentoring a junior dev in my team and been part of building the project by implementing new technologies and tweaks) and my total YoE is 3.5+ years. What could be the reasons? What should I do now?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi folks,

This is interesting... just signed up for a mock case interview and the partner is my colleague 😂😂😂

Does anyone have a referral for Rancho Biosciences?

Republicans annoy me because Biden is fumbling the bag right now and wrecking everything and republicans decide that RIGHT NOW is the time to die on the hill of a social issue. We have a litany of economic and energy and strategic issues and they decide to just randomly do this for no reason

Rejections suck even when they’re nice rejections.
“They were extremely impressed with your background and experience, however, we have decided to pursue other candidates.”

Is there a website that shares announcements of recent contract wins by federal contractors across all federal agencies?

Sometimes the leadership does not even inform you on the status of a submitted proposal unless we win the work. I get why they are doing it but it would be great if there was an external source/website that would share this info instead of us waiting around to hear from them.

Anyone work / worked for ICF? Have a potential interview and would like to know more about the company. Looking at a cyber position. Thank you!

What's the market these days for someone with not-great technical skills, 12 YOE, TS clearance, hard-to-find/unique skillset, elite masters, middle management in DoD contracting, experience with critical/high profile roles?

I'm thinking 120-135k would be bad/mediocre, 180-195k would be possible/a stretch, and 160-170k would be doable/realistic. Thoughts? Not interested in Deloitte.

Hello everyone. I will be transitioning from the Navy soon and want to work in the cybersecurity field.

No work experience in cyber, just my education and bootcamp course for Security+. Should I still apply for job that want 2-5+ years cyber experience and/or an active TS clearance?

Cleared folks: What’s the process to go from Secret to Top Secret?

How competitive are promotions at Deloitte GPS?

Do you use TikTok on your personal device? I want to gauge the community if the potential risks are worth using the app. I am a federal contractor but have a clearance. I am on the younger side so TikTok is very relevant to my peers, please don't shame me haha

I love what I do and I have an offer to stay in International Development and be a manager with 86k, focusing on my technical area + lots of travel. But I also have offers from Deloitte and EY to be a GPS consultant at ~100k. Is it worth it to move to D or EY? Have personal financial goals that i need to reach for my family and thats why i started considering EY and D.

Does anyone know the sales goal for Associate Director snd Director at Guidehouse?

Is Federal/Public Sector consulting fulfilling work? I'm at a tier 2 consulting firm right now focused on retail clients, and I just feel like there is zero point to this work. Its all about increasing sales of a product that people could easily live without. As an Associate, I just move boxes around on PPT slides all day. Looking for better WLB and fulfillment in my work, thinking that might be Public Sector work.
