GovCon BD path vs federal 1102 development program
Looking for opinions on the better career path for someone early in their career (~2 years experience): 1. Going into a federal 1102 development program
Or
- Getting into BD/ Capture at a GovCon.
Thinking 10–15 years out: leadership upside, earning potential, mobility, overall ceiling.
Does 1102 experience compound well if you later move to industry, or does staying on the corporate side usually lead to bigger opportunities?
outcomes?
