What group r u in? And no, I know ppl who did 4 months before. Don't sweat it and jus keep reaching out and try to work on BD work.

Yeah they're still investing heavily into digital, it's in all the Q4 results articles. I wouldn't worry, jus keep trying to get staffed.

Knew a guy in digital who was on bench for a year. He stayed busy doing BD and PRD. No worries at all

What's bd and prd?

BD is business development, working on something internal that may get us more work down the road. Honestly I would be worried bout being on the bench that long. Start looking outside of digital for anything local.

And PRD?

OP what city are you based out of.
