Any tips for when you’re on bench? I’m a new grad just started 2 months ago and haven’t been on a project yet. I’m so bored and I’ve just been helping out senior managers and directors with proposal work.

Depending on what you do and what your comfort level is, learning some Excel/VBA isn’t bad! The more effectively you can work with data in the tools you use, the more valuable you’ll be to your team and the more people will lean on you.

I’m starting at Accenture soon! Any idea if this is generally what happens? It would be kinda nice to start off slow and find the right project

It really depends on which practice/capability/alignment you’re in and the demand by from clients. Some get on a project as soon as they start, while others may be on the bench for months.

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
