Received an offer from Booz Allen for $115k as an associate to do similar work that I do now as a fed civilian. My current salary is around $98k so is it worth taking the offer or just sticking with my current role and waiting for a promotion?

So you’re GS-12 or 13 with full Fed benefits? When I recently ran an assessment, I saw about a 10-15% premium for a Fed gig (due to the extra benefits) which in your case would make it pretty even (if still true in your case). I was going to be offered a Fed role at 13-1, but got a ~45% better offer from BAH. If you’re already a Fed with the job-for-life and automatic step increases, you can rarely get a big adjustment to salary, but you’re guaranteed some reasonable step increases. Sounds like BAH is slow with typical raises and adjustments.

I’d say either negotiate to 120 or 125, or stay put for now if things are good enough as a Fed.
