Client is furloughing all consultants for 6 weeks, with less than a day notice. Client is trying to hire me direct - can I pursue without risk of repercussion since not “technically” @ client site ?

Furloughing meaning you get to go work on another project?

I suppose. The client is looking to save money and just told everyone to take off until April 1. My consulting firm is not thrilled as you can imagine. Everyone reports to the bench for these 6 weeks. With the expectation of going back on April 1st. So strange.

If that is the case, then you can theoretically pursue other projects. You can’t keep people on the bench like this

I’ve seen clients push start dates or pause activities, but I’ve never seen us agree to keep all the same people on the bench until they restart. They’d need to pay for that - what usually happens is the client may only do this for key people.

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

On my BGC I listed the 11 months listed above. My previous resume listed this under my education, so I never had exact dates. Grad school was several years back.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?
Q2 anything I should do to clarify?
Q3 does MBB care about vol?
