I think BAH has a pretty solid data science offering, though I'm several years out of date on BAH's offerings. I've heard Deloitte and ACN are also good in that space.

Agreed. The key with everything though is to be in the right teams and projects to do the DA work that interests you.

If you are looking into data science roles - especially to get some initial experience and grow the skill set, I’d also suggest looking at some of the more “traditional” defense contractors who are a lot more established in those areas. Don’t limit yourself to the consulting world for something like data science.

Probably Deloitte, EY, KPMG, Accenture

Should I try to sign the 185 offer and try to see if I even get offer with MS and let the poly play out or should I just not worry about it and sign the current offer? I am pretty sure the compensation from MS is great.
