Hi, Im a senior consultant 1.5 yrs at Deloitte. All my roles have been based on my expertise which is Salesforce. Recently, I finished a project and had to find a new one. I was not finding any salesforce roles. As a PDM, I only had two weeks to find another project. I had no choice but to join a 1yr tech implementation for a large government agency looking into their business process. While I may be able to do the work, it is not what I want to be working on career wise. Any suggestions?

Are you opposed to it because it’s government work or because it’s not Salesforce work? Because if you can get a clearance from it, I’d ride it out then jump—public sector is where we’re seeing some of the biggest growth and need for people here.

It is not salesforce work and I feel like I’d get rusty in salesforce after a whole year on this project. They are giving me a clearance though. I am thinking about exploring my options right now.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach.

My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?

I have been giving a few interviews lately and every Company is asking me to confirm if i can get my NP reduced from 90 Days to 45 or 60 Days. I'm still under probation but assigned to a Project already. Should I ask my Account Manager and HR about it or its unethical to do so. Am i making a mistake to ask and confirm about NP even before my offer letter or its ok to just enquire what's the process and possibility to reduce NP as we have buyout option too.

Hi Fishes, I need your advice!

I joined CG 6 months back and was on training for 3-4 months for Dynamics CRM, completing multiple MS certifications. Post that I was mapped to an account for the project & was under shadow.

After shadow completed it seems like there's no project openings in the account for which I was selected. And now management wants me to go for other certs.

Please help me know whom can I approach & ask for project openings/tagging. I'm worried as it's already been 6 months!
