🐠, I was laid off from industry during covid and started consulting this year, which was a step back in terms of level and salary.

I like my current firm and have put a lot of effort into making it my new home; however I don’t like my project and am stuck on it. I am terrified of making a move so soon into a role that isn’t a fit or worse, results in another layoff. Appreciate all perspective!
