Built for public servants. Not politics.

Proud of your service. Ready for something different.

You can believe in the mission and still want better pay, growth, flexibility, or stability. We help you move without rewriting who you are.

1

Decode your work

We capture scope, stakeholders, constraints, and outcomes so your experience reads like private-sector impact (not bureaucracy).

2

Translate to market language

Titles, keywords, and role families that recruiters actually search for—especially in compliance-heavy and procurement-heavy environments.

3

Match to realistic targets

A clear short list of adjacent roles, bridge roles, and a few stretch roles—so you know what to pursue next.

Compensation isn’t just salary.

Government-to-private decisions are about tradeoffs. We help you compare total comp and negotiate with clarity.

  • Compare total comp: salary + bonus + benefits + retirement
  • Understand what you’re trading (and what you’re gaining)
  • Negotiate with a government-to-private playbook

Why prepare now

Build career portability—quietly.

Change happens across government (federal, state, and local). Build a nonpartisan Plan B with less guesswork and more clarity.

Common triggers for government professionals

Reorgs & uncertainty

Teams, priorities, and org charts change. A portable plan helps no matter who’s in office or what gets reorganized.

Return-to-office & relocation

Schedule changes can shift your day-to-day fast. We help you filter for flexibility and location fit.

Burnout & workload

High caseloads and constrained resources add up. “Speed + clarity” should feel like reduced mental load.

What we help with

Title + role translation

We map public-sector scope to market titles and role families recruiters recognize—without erasing your service.

Keyword alignment (ATS + recruiters)

We highlight the market language employers search for, so your experience shows up in the right searches.

Realistic targets (less guesswork)

Adjacent roles, bridge roles, and a few stretch roles—so you know what to pursue next.

Plan B, not panic

Nonpartisan. Not affiliated with any agency. Private by default—you control what you share. No spam. No selling data.

Exploring options can be private. Consider using a personal email.
