Starting at Deloitte GPS in a few weeks. How easy is it to switch into commercial or work commercial projects? Have heard differing opinions. Thanks!

I’m afraid so...

Very hard. Also, you’d be surprised how many people are trying to move the opposite direction and get out of commercial and into GPS

People need stability

I know of people that did it - I recommend spending some time on “high profile” public sector engagements. The bigger the engagement, more interaction you have with colleagues of all backgrounds at the firm. I know of some people that have both jumped to and from commercial/GPS, network and skillset is key. It’ll take about a year just to figure out life at the firm, so I wouldn’t expect to get an opportunity until you’ve built a network large enough to support an assignment on a commercial entity. That said, you won’t see a salary adjustment unless you transfer over full time, and stick in that role for a couple years so it’ll be a bit of a slog. I did commercial before coming to D, it’s not as different as people make out.

So something like VAMS?
