First year consultant - I’ve been on the bench for the last 3 months charging 1 hour of client work a week. No one cares. I’m going to ride this out until I hit my one year of tenure in 4 months then go full time for my master’s degree then change careers. Life has been pure bliss and have had zero stress

Ride that wave! I've been staffed full time for a while, and staffed for another 6 months. Some bench time doesn't sound too bad lol

USC MBA

Do you consider short term staffing as bench work or client work?

I don’t have a close relationship with them. I don’t know them at all and they ask me to do something which takes up an hour at most and that’s it. Typically won’t talk to them again. Equivalent to my “coach” in pwc terms (we call them mentors) doesn’t reach out at all about my utilization lol

What type of career change are you planning to make? I am in a similar boat - getting a masters in data science (unfortunately part time) but I want to leave KPMG once I have the qualifications for a new role

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
