Hi all - I've recently transitioned into AFS after 6 years at LLP. With the incoming administration funding for my project was cut and I'll be hitting the bench for the first time. I was told by my TFS that AFS only gives you two weeks to find a project??? how accurate is this? to put it in perspective, I'm as proactive and project-hungry as it gets when it comes to finding a new project and LLP bench has been so bad after the past few years that this seems unreasonable to me. Any insight helps

Old leadership gave even less AF

If it was a temp (paper) transfer it may be 2 weeks and then back to LLP vs out. Your HR partner should be able to give more context.

Is it true that AFS reduced their bench time recently?

It's non existent

My contract is ending 12/31/22 and can’t be extended legally according to our CFO. Worked in various increasingly responsible roles at the same organization as a FT employee in IT for 17 years and then took a buyout and chilled doing side gigs for 18 months then came back as temporary contract staff for the last 3.8 years as Business Analyst and Technical Writer. Curious to know if I’m being unreasonable in expecting my next Senior BA role to pay in the $110-130k range in the DC Metro Area.

I just had the initial call with HR. I was told that Senior Analysts start at 56k and Business Operations Specialists start at 67k. I was told the next step was Junior Manager but they rarely started anyone at that level. I'm shocked. Is that accurate or are they trying to lower my expectations? I have an MBA and an MHA and 20 years military experience.
