With all the uncertainty, I’m thinking of leaving government contracting for the new few years, despite me only being in this industry <2 years, and revisiting when this administration ends. I’m exploring getting into tech sales or customer success…very different than consulting, but there are some transferable skills. Has anyone went from public sector consulting to tech sales (ideally selling to government) and/or customer success?

Consider me a pessimist but this administration (even if the orange cheeto gets to point where can't function at all) will never end. I fear we are way past free and fair elections.

I have been thinking the same exact thing. Why else would he be intentionally doing it. If he had control of the federal reserve I bet he would hike the interest rates super high too

How do you guys feel about the Pride Team at ZS India?

Also, they're very exclusionary and don't really want people joining the team or pitching ideas..not even sure if the core team are members of LGBT+ or just "allies".

Is there a website that shares announcements of recent contract wins by federal contractors across all federal agencies?

Sometimes the leadership does not even inform you on the status of a submitted proposal unless we win the work. I get why they are doing it but it would be great if there was an external source/website that would share this info instead of us waiting around to hear from them.
