Anyone transitioned from consulting to FBI special agent? Manager here. Is it a plausible option? The role has always been in the back of my head and on paper it seems like a lot of the skills would transfer. Probably naive, but hoping I’d find more meaning in it, making the pay cut worth it. I see FBI recruiting videos about diversity of backgrounds but not sure how real that is—I’m not former military or LE (though I do shoot competitively as a civilian, for whatever that’s worth.)

  1. Director of Communications Interview

    Easy Interview
    Application

    I applied through an employee referral The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Civilian (San Diego, CA)

    Interview

    Interviewed in 2019 or 2020 after a recruiter reached out to me. Had 2 phone screenings, and then an in-person.

    Company seemed very prescriptive and narrow minded. They were definitely looking for specific answers to open ended questions. Pay also seemed very low for skill set they were asking for. Coworkers seemed pretty nice though.

    Overall, I think it wasn’t a mutual fit, but i got ghosted and they never followed up with me.
