I was on bench for a while too

FDD/Val?

FDD

My coach and plenty of other employees have said your first year doesn’t matter too much performance-wise. The primary objective is to learn.

When I first started at Deloitte, I was on the bench for nearly two months. Keep doing e-learnings and network to try to get assigned. You’ll get picked up more often as you gain experience and build relationships.
