Currently staffed on an internal project, but trying to roll off so I can focus on applying externally from the bench. How can I tactfully bring this up to leadership?

There is no tactful way. If you are not on a client project and you want to get out of an internal project- you are asking to get fired.

Everyone manage to get a new job while on their current job. It’s not really hard

No leader will roll you off to the bench unless it’s for performance reasons.

Interviews with a private credit / direct lending / distressed real estate group have been going on for 6 weeks and now I’m waiting for the the final decision.

Technical was last week and last interview was yesterday. It’s a reputable American company - how likely is it that they’ll make a decision in 2 days?

I applied for a lateral job in a growing group that doesn’t have associates yet.

Is there anything else I can do? I would be switching practices altogether so I want to be as proactive as possible to know what I’m getting myself into (and make my app more favorable because I really want to break into the field).

Booz Allen Hamilton rescinded my offer because my current firm will not waive the non-compete clause in our employee agreement. It was allegedly a capability hire, and not tied to a particular project.

I work one level above entry level, and really shouldn’t even have such a restrictive non-compete.

I’ve already resigned, and would prefer to be unemployed rather than continue working here.
