You will not be “put” on a project. You have to find a project, when you find one, make sure its not local

like

finding projects is up to you! so if you want something local, only look for projects in your area on myscheduling

I said not local so it’s that easy? I’d imagine that my request would be a lot easier to accommodate than someone wanting something local.

sorry I misread. if you want to travel, apply to roles that are outside your city. some projects can only take local resources but most will consider you if you have the right skills for the project

Depends what city you’re in and what practice. Still up to you where you end up though

It’s gonna be hard to be local in the SW, which office are you located in? Unless you’re doing oil and gas, you’ll be traveling a lot

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.
