Most of the big consulting firms do, that said they don’t typically have a larger local client base and you can end up working for companies that aren’t that much better then the fed (Freddie/Fannie for example)

I’m not sure what C1’s definition of “major consulting firm” is, but the vast majority of work sold from our DC office is not government related. We have a significant amount of that non federal work that is based in dc as well. That being said, most work does involve travel

BC1 - who are your non federal clients in DC?

Hey Slalom1- how much of your work is travel?

@SC1 not much if any. We have some clients who allow remote, but all are in the DC region.

@SP1- are these commercial or federal clients? I’m trying to get to industry (commercial) but if you do commercial consulting here in the dc area, I’d love to learn more.

All of Slalom DC’s current work is outside of public sector.

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM.

Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.
