After 3 days at the client site, the client decided that they didn't actually want my role, so I've been asked to leave before even being able to meet with said client. Does this happen often?

I've heard of this happening before. I've heard of people get staffed and then told role was canceled before being able to fly out

Happened to me last week. Just be gracious and interview for other projects.

Yep. Just move on. Sometimes things just don't work out. Not your problem or issue.

Yeah, it's just frustrating because it was the holy trinity of awesome industry, role, and location, and I didn't even get a chance to try to make an impact

You were on site for three days and still didnt meet the client? 🤔
