Hi fellow 🐠 new to the firm (< 1 year). I've been on a long term project that I haven't enjoyed at all. Request for different project wouldn't be received well (continued)

I moved projects in less than a year with a similar situation - that being said, it's easier if you have a strong business case for why you want to move (i.e. I don't feel like this project is in line with my long term career goals, and this other project is, I feel I could be a greater benefit to the firm in another role, etc.). Try to get your RP and Coach on board, that's who will end up having more say

Take three actions....
1) find a replacement that is qualified and ready to step in ; put together a transition plan
2) work with your coach to find an active opportunity in whatever you want to move to and have a conversation with the person running that op 3) take those two items to the person running your current engagement

Is trying to move to a different Big 4 with < 1 year at PwC a bad idea? Or should I instead try and switch Business Vertical?

Yeah you're fucked if you ask to move. Made that mistake my first year. They don't care and will backhandedly tell you to suck it up and deal!

I doubt you can switch vertical in the first year

@P1, thanks. I may have a discussion with my RP/Coach and see what happens

@E1 - so you think then I'll have to tough it out if I'm stuck in that project. Or could I maybe start looking at other Big4 opportunities? Don't know if that's a good idea with <1 year in my current role though

You could always start looking elsewhere. You can have the conversation with your RP though that you have been on a long term project and you want to continue elsewhere to diversify your skill set. First year is tough though as you are a new fish. Be willing to put in a couple added weeks/ months to transfer knowledge with a end date confirmed

Hi everyone!
I currently work for Graybar Electric as a Project Specialist. Over the past few months, I’ve been training some of the new employees and it’s really inspired me to want to move into a operations training and development or a leadership position. Unfortunately, there isn’t a lot of room for growth where I’m at. I’m hoping to make new connections and see where this new endeavor takes me, if anyone would be so kind as to refer me. Here’s a picture of our family dog for some likes ❤️
