Would really appreciate your advice: pre-covid I was in talks to join 3 of the big 4. Covid happened and they decided not to move forward due to the uncertainty. Now, I have interviews with Guidehouse. I’m a BA at a no name org and would really like to move on. If I decide to go to Guidehouse, how easy/difficult would it be to go back to private sector consulting vs. public sector consulting, assuming I am doing private sector consulting now? WWYD?

I would be less concerned about sector and more concerned about type of work. Will you be switching practice areas?

It is a change of work stream. I’m currently working on tech implementation (on the non tech side) and this one seems to be more general consulting. I like the work that I do now and have found a sector that I’ve liked to focus on.

GH has commercial/private sector consulting now too since they acquired Navigant

This is tough. If you’re happy where you are now, you might want to stay and wait until next year when the Big 4 reopen for recruiting.

Jumping to GH and then trying to jump again may not be as good for you if you already have a resume that would get you an interview at Big 4. Do understand what team and work you’re joining at GH before you go if you do though because everything there is so team by team in terms of if the work is good or not

WFH Vs WF Office Vs Hybrid, Which one should you take?
If you are fresher, go for a WF Office setup. You will learn things beyond your work. In the initial phase of of your career, one needs to focus more on learning than on comfort. The interactions at office, meeting with collegues, conversations at the cafeteria, sense of responsibilty, the need to walk up on time to reach office etc will shape you for better.

Once you have a work experience of few year then any setup is fine. Go for WFH.
