How much is too much reaching out? Some context: I’m on the bench and I spoke to my SM about my availability on a Monday. They say they will find me some work. But I don’t hear from him at all. When do I reach out and how often should I follow up until he actually gives me what I need. The layoffs here at Accenture has me stressing over WBS codes so much.

Can you ask someone else? When I have availability I usually have 4/5 different people I reach out to, a few of them in other service lines I don’t even regularly work with.

People get busy and forget. I don’t think a quick message each day hurts. Multiple times in one day can get annoying though (could just have other priorities same day).

Really looking to leave Accenture for D?

Surprising...

I was at D a few years ago and my network is bigger there and I found staffing to be easier. Only been at Accenture a few months so just going through the rough stages of starting a new gig. I like it but some things could be different.

Need some advise. I am fairly young/junior in the industry and was included in COVID layoffs. While searching for new positions I worry about moving to a less prestigious agency and stunting my career or not being able to find work at all. I am leveraging connections that I can but am feeling really overwhelmed with this transition. Any tips?

The issues with the kid are being handled appropriately - this is more about how to overcome perception at work

It makes me wonder how many other things that have drastically changed (like wfh and hand sanitizer) will go back to normal as people go back to normal.
