[quote=Anonymous]I worked at a Big 5 consulting firm for ten years. I did a mix of strategy consulting, business process improvement, and systems integration work. I landed a GS-15 job in the government (recruited by a former colleague) and negotiated max salary and max vacation. My job in government was pretty high profile - lots of external outreach, managing a large program, operations, etc. Great experience to go be the client, even if it was not at one of my clients. I learned a lot and enjoyed getting out of selling and delivery hell. I felt like I was able to contribute and got a lot of satisfaction out if my government job. I parlayed that experience into another job in the private sector as a government supplier (not consulting). Consulting was a great place to start, but I am glad I am out! Good luck![/quote]
