This is a main reason I’m leaving. I want to learn the ins and outs of an industry I like and see the mid to long term effects of my efforts instead of jumping around. I’m tired of being a jack of all trades.

I will say while we are always having to learn new things and it doesn’t seem to get any easier (I’m at 3 years now after leaving industry). My growth in this 3 years has been exponential compared to industry. So yes it’s constantly uncomfortable and there’s terrible imposter syndrome all the time. But the flip side is you are constantly learning / growing and never bored. Guess you need to figure out what’s more important to you - and there’s no right/wrong answer.

Have you been on shorter projects? Frankly I dont feel like I’ve settled into a project until at least month 4

Yes primarily short projects, 1-2 months long on average. I never feel settled, so maybe I’ll have better luck on a longer project

On the bench and anxious! Does everyone have a project lined up immediately after a project ends even if that project weren't the top choice?

On today's call I'm asked a question directly by the client and I have two other people jump in and talk over me and give a different answer for me. Teamwork at its finest.

Deloitters: in response to the comp email that went out, for a BTA, what is the cut off rating for getting a bonus/raise? (Background: BTA, not promotion year, rating of 3 this year).

Deloitters - when do bonuses/raises hit? All I can find is that promotions are effective in August but I thought it didn't hit until Sept. last year
