[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good replies. I do have Econ experience from CIA, 5 years worth of working the global Econ team.

[b]What about my management experience/team building? I do see places like Amazon have quant teams that need managing, for example. [/b][/quote]

It's possible I guess. But Amazon can hire easily from the private sector for that - candidates with proven private sector track records tied to revenue.

You are valuable to private industry for your clearance and to some extent your subject matter expertise. So places like FFRDCs or think tanks could be a transition.

If you still have time in the building I'd look at a last tour that puts you in a position that you know exists in industry - like a PM type job for one of the contractors that provides personnel to the Agency, or in a program that is looking at merging tech and internal workflows. You don't have to be a SME to do that, especially at the managerial level. You just have to have the personality to understand the end goal and know who to talk to in order for that to happen.[/quote]
