How detrimental is having a poor performance on 1 project? Will it follow me? I’m 1 project into my consulting career (analyst) and have performed very poorly - haven’t understood the project, ask questions that indicate I dont know what I’m doing, and haven’t taken on any meaningful roles. For what it’s worth, the project I’m on is incredibly boring and has been extended multiple times so I’ve mentally been checked out/unmotivated. I think I just need a more excited project to pull my best out

Your question lends itself to more questions: What is your objective for the balance of the project? Are you actively trying to improve? Are you trying to roll off? What feedback have you received? How are you working to action the feedback? Have you sought advice from others, like mentors, your people manager, etc?

I don't think its the project my friend

The project is definitely part of it

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.
