Thanks for your post – public sector consulting for private sector contractors to the public sector will be similar, but public sector consulting will generally hold a more limited scope for exit opportunities (it’s certainly easier to go the other way around, unless you’re talking about something that requires security clearance). The goal is to see if you can work on a mix of projects no matter what – client diversity makes you more marketable.

How do you feel that public sector consulting experience compares to commercial? Are exit options similar?

@Daniel – that’s a good point, although the largest Fortune 500 companies often employ the most external consultants given the complexities of scale and the vast array of needs.

re: Siemens, they also have a pretty strong internal management consulting team (Siemens Management Consultants) with pretty strong capabilities. I think many of these large scale industrial companies can afford to have their own specialized practice and probably need it.
