I moved to a different, but technically still client facing role. I’ve loved it. Yes I have a different salary growth projection for sure. But we already make a lot of money and I love the hours, the pace, and how much chiller my team is. I also love that I get to keep my same benefits package, which is way better than industry. I would say it’s just like any industry job though in that you’ll be working with the same people in a typical office environment for the foreseeable future. So make sure you do your due diligence on the group. For example, I know one other group similar to mine that is known for a lot of infighting and petty office politics.

Very helpful, thanks!

Moved to an internal role and had a positive experience.

Why not just move to the industry? Our internal processes and tools are not better than most of our clients anyway

Certain things I enjoy about consulting, but being external client facing isn’t one of them. Also I’m an experienced hire with several years of industry experience so able to do a good comparison between consulting and that past work.

I am also interested in these answers! I like my company but not the stress of unreasonable client expectations, the hours, and the travel

The benefits is also the biggest reason I haven’t moved

Fish who have been feds,

I have been stuck deciding between two offers (both in IC, but one is more program analysis -similar to consulting work but on the fed side, and actual analysis).

The program analysis offer is at a higher GS level and a more well known agency, but is not what I’m interested in.

Does anyone have any advice on how to make a decision? Go with what I want to do, or go with the more well known agency and higher gs?
