I would recommend staying for atleast another year. You've got to pay your dues first and other firms may be weary of a 1st year analyst who is already complaining a year into his career. Your best bet is to stay, get promoted first, then jump. You don't want to come off as having a sense of entitlement before you've even proven yourself as a commodity. Just my 2 cents. You may have a shitty project, but firms will respect someone who stuck it out and wasn't looking to leave at the first sign of trouble. You can find ways to challenge yourself. Be a creator, not a victim!!
OP you have been with the firm for a year and you are ready to price out CRs? 🤔. We have an entire pricing department for that. You mentioned above you got a bad project review for working on something else in your free time but that day to day you are 'crushing it'. Reading between the lines: you don't like your current role/responsibilities and are putting your energy elsewhere. As stated above, if you aren't learning anything, your reviews should be stellar. You don't get a bad review just because you worked on non project scope. Now you want to lateral. Nothing is adding up with your story; I encourage you to think critically about what's really happening on your project and talk to your supervisor about the review.
1st year is a rough sell, but don't let that stop you from trying

Retaliation for what?
Get a new project, totally new set of peers and supervisors. You need to try a bunch of different things before you know what you are any good at.
You need to step back and learn before you can make a difference. Chill out.

Have you told your manager you want to be challenged or offered additional responsibility?

Damn EY1 that makes too much sense. I just accepted a role at an existing project but I wish I had thought about that before accepting 😣
Have you tried to talk with your CC?
Bad review was given internally, was considered by HR to be retaliation
His bad review was considered retaliation because i was using my weekend time for other activities / projects etc
SM - i found a gap and an opportunity, i didn’t expect to price it, sell it, etc but wanted to learn and be a part of the process
Regardless looking for help! Not about to write out my entire narrative here
ACN 6- That's for people who are too weak to pave their own path. And you wonder why leadership at ACN is so terrible? It's possible to blaze your own career through merit and delivery. Don't take the easy way out and become a visionless/gutless leader at ACN. You will never find meaning in your work when you look at yourself in the mirror each morning.
TC1 what firm are you at?
What are you interested in?
Change Management - consumer goods, retail
A3 - yes, have also seen opportunities and created opportunities and presented it to the project (opportunity to expand work). They’d take it and assign it to someone else.
Go brown nose, kiss ass a bit... it will get you way to the top! That’s reality folks at any level...
