Anybody moved back to USI recently? I'm supposed to travel back soon and getting a bit anxious about the 14hr journey (haven't flown since the pandemic began).

I just started with a company as an HR Generalist. Within the 3 weeks of being there, my boss’s boss left, and today I found out my boss gave notice.

Is there any advice for networking into projects when you don’t know many people at the firm yet? I always to help on BD work when I’m on the bench, but it never turns into any billable work. Every time I have talked to a partner/senior manager I was told I don’t have the skill set they’re looking for, but I don’t know how to build up from there. Feeing very lost but I want to improve my approach.

I know I'm a seasoned consultant because I know the locations of the best plugs in airports across the country. I can't decided if I'm proud or sad to possess such knowledge.

To answer everyone - it is acceptable to do whatever is acceptable to you! #LiveLetLive #FreedomOfExpression
