NY!
Don't sweat it - plenty of oppty active and in pipeline in NY, NYC and NJ. Analyst?
Not too many projects start in November. Good luck.
Send me a note at NYCburneremail@gmail if you're interested in that role
Lol at 3.5 weeks. I've benched about 4 months total this year
My point is no one goes back to look at why you were on the bench for the time you were. It's just overall more important that you have people speaking on your behalf. That's more important than worrying about each day on the bench hitting against you
A5...Im with you, I agree to that...my point was he was worried about being fired, which you shouldnt really worry about...but in terms of progression, yes, being in the bench is meaningless at the end of the day if someone is speaking highly of you and you got the right sponsors...that takes you far
I'm also in need of a project. Any of these opss coded strategy?
A3 you're fine :) I'm strategy. You FS?
Not aligned at the moment, have done work in FS M&A though
I was on the bench 8 weeks. Started my role this Monday. Don't fret. Exhaust your network. Look outside of your DTE. Ask the MD in your home office for recommendations. Keep your CC closely involved with your efforts and concerns. Be sure to go into the office, do some of the job jar requests and email your TFS weekly of all the roles you have applied to, asked to be proposed to, interviews, etc. You must appear to be actively looking to get staffed.
A5- I'm FS, looking for a strategy role. Would love any leads for a level 10 / 9
@a1- tech strategy is hot right now. Email the FS leads in that area and they should set you up
I will provide a slightly contradicting view to some of the above comments about utilization not mattering as long as you have the right folks in corner. I do agree having the leadership support is critical however I will say that on one out of the three talent discussions I was on this year that chargeability targets were shared for each level and discussed for those who didn't hit the target (my counselee being one of those ppl) so it is looked at more closely in certain groups at least. Food for thought to keep in mind...good luck OP!
Hey @A1 sent you an email!
My colleague just got in a car accident with a hertz rental car. Does our insurance cover major damage?
Anyone have an opportunity in FS for an analyst? I'm based out of Chicago and the market here seems very dead. I'd also love to travel if possible
It's a dead time of year. Don't expect too many things to be popping up
A1- I've been at ACN since May and have worked on 1 client with great reviews. Every role I keep getting keeps falling through because we end up not selling the work. Help I've been on bench for a month and a half
I've been on the bench a month. Was supposed to onboard 2 weeks ago but role fell through sigh. Anyone have any leads for business analyst work? I'm salesforce aligned
