I’ve been reading back and forth if someone with this experience would already be considered “senior” versus “junior” versus mid/level?

Do you ever tell your coach or RP that you don't like your current project?

Joined Big4 consulting 11 months ago, was promoted to Senior last month, but feeling frustrated & underworked on a project I'm staffed FT since Aug.

I frequently ask project leads for more tasks but rarely receive any responses, so I occasionally reach out to my previous EM to work with them in a limited capacity.
