Guys, I hate to tell you this...but never take that advice "do not worry" because they person next to you is "worrying" and will network you out of what lil project there are left...so my best pirce of advice again is, do not stay home...go to the office and find out what project there are, make urself visible

This is no time at all. It is a slower time in consulting, the election is making clients nervous and ACN NA is in the middle of a reorganization. With leadership changes Dec1. (Just saw the latest Julie Sweet video). I would not worry till January.

A3 has wasted so much time "networking". Having someone to speak up for you in calls counts 10x more than a good utilization. I was benched 6 weeks because a SM wanted me on his project, had nothing to do with how good I am. Enjoy the time while you have it because you'll miss it once you're staffed

A5...you are contradicting yourself, being benched 6 weeks because an SM wants you is NOT the same as being benched without having a project...I am not saying everything wont be fine, but please do not advise people to just chill...chill smartly, network, talk, find a lead and THEN chill

Fair fair. At the end of the day we shouldn't be worried about that because it says more about the company than the individual. Praying to the consulting gods we don't go through that again🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
