Not sure if you are asking whether you can be let go for not doing enough work or whether you can be let go if your employer does not have enough work to give you. But either way, the answer is yes.

Yes, you should be asking for work when you’re slow.

I do daily.

Yes, if your client isn’t bringing in enough projects/ money to staff you, you can be let go. As others mentioned and it sounds like you’re already doing this, make sure you’re asking to assist on other accounts when you have the bandwidth. It’ll help you round out your portfolio, show that you’re a team player, and ensure that you have value across other accounts (if the one you’re staffed to isn’t cutting it).

When I was junior I had a client breach contract to take work in-house, and it helped that I worked closely assisting with other accounts. When the client left, they were able to pivot me to a new business. I kept my job, was eventually promoted and learned a lot. Hang in there, if you put in the work it’ll pay off!

I've completed the final rounds for 2 companies: AWS as an L7 Principal PMT and another that's a Series-A funded startup in the HCM space. I expect offers from both: AWS around $400k TC ($250k base + $150k stock) and the startup should be around $300k TC ($250k base + 20% bonus). If comp wasn't the ONLY consideration, what would you do? The AWS role will be an IC role and more hands-on/technical. The startup will be a CPO role reporting to the CEO with a team of about 50 devs+PMs.
