mmmmm...beer 691 Posted June 22, 2018 Sales, my last position was at the director level, but the owner wouldnt let me direct ###### Hrmmm... Uhhh... was going suggest looking at the Fed Gov.... with an MBA you should be able to qualify hands down for at least GS-09 positions, now that's just starting, but the benefits are pretty decent, and you could "buy back" your active duty military years. Good pension... health insurance... 401k... etc First 3 here have a Vets hiring preference, actually pretty much every job has a vets hiring preference meaning if 20 people make the hiring list, and 3 of them are vets, the person hiring only sees the 3 vets to hire. He can't even see the other 17 unless he has a very valid reason to pass over the first 3, which almost never happens. https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/502496100 https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/502369300 https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/502625300 How much were you paid at your last job and how much do you have to make? Realize when you get into the feds you're not going to straight to the top. But the main point is to get your foot in the door with a fed agency... then... mmmhmmm... there are alot of gs 09/11/12 jobs. So if you start out as a GS 09 ($57,777 starting out)... in a year you'd get a GS-11 ($69,904) and then a year later you'd get a GS-12 ($83,787 starting out). https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/salary-tables/18Tables/html/HOU.aspx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
