Transferred to BAH from BCG to take a 20% bump and the opportunity to work in the federal space. Initial thoughts - disorganized orientation, decent culture. However, got placed on the bench 😑

You guys love shitting on BAH. The group think here is too real. Congrats OP, there's plenty of cool work to find. I have heard cool things about war gaming. Maybe look into that.

“Federal Space” means being on a local project while working 9-5 on the dot and getting to work from home multiple days a week while getting paid the same salary as commercial. I think that’s the appeal.

A4 hi nice to see you. And to know that you think everybody is me. I got way more than 20 percent bump when I came to consulting.

OP steer clear of DHS, a total disaster of management, and that was before this administration screwed up his cabinet so much they don't even have a secretary anymore. People supporting intelligence agencies seemed to like what they did so maybe you'll luck out but for every bad ass gig there are dozens of butts in seat gigs that are only not automated because we don't trust computers not to be compromised (but humans.... OK). In general you will not find that there's much strategic thinking being asked for by any par of fed, at least not that I ever saw. I personally thought the policy teams were doing the most impactful work, eg national broadband initiatives, setting them up to be effective, that kind of thing, so seek those out if intel isn't really your thing (not for me, I like talking about my job with family and friends too much to make that trade off)
