Been in advisory for about 1.5 years and with the same local client for almost a year. I've gotten extended 4-5 times and another year. Is it better to be on short or long term projects?

other downfall of short term projects is that you run the risk on being on the bench

I should also mention that the client is super chill so I have amazing work/life balance (I.e. not required to stay past 5pm)

I am in a similar position; I'm finding it easier to participate in career development / outside education/learning opps, but it is killing my networking.

Are you getting better opportunities on the longer term project? You should have increasing responsibilities.

That must have been hell of a fun project 😹

IMO long term projects are much "easier", from a learning perspective, probably not be the best

I have 5 projects going on right now, some multi year others short term

I believe so, I have manager level responsibilities for this project(I'm currently a senior). But I'm also not developing in my own competency since my role on the project is different

One issue depending on your office and practice is making sure that you are growing your network

I'm basically on an island. I do attend out counseling family events so I know mostly everyone in my region

Happened to me. Was on an island, never could network or participate in firm activities. Kind a pushed my way into another work stream and now I got a new project that can help expand my network. Got to look at it like this. If you are no longer developing skills that you desire or interested in, time to go

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..
