I work in my current firm for 6 months only and I’m already burnt out.
I came to the firm as an experienced consultant but couldn’t get the higher position because it was abroad and I didn’t speak local language yet. However, they told me I’d be eligible for the fast track if I show that my experience is relevant. For 6 months I’ve never been staffed on a project in the industry I’ve worked before, so I’m neither interested by what I do, nor do I have an opportunity to show my experience ->

To act as a mirror: Could it be that you’re not giving them a reason to care? Think critically about your level, skills, and network. Are you as valuable in their eyes as you are in your own?

-> Everyone in the firm knows I’m expecting such an opportunity but they seem not to care much. Once I’ve almost been staffed on a project of my prior experience but then they changed their minds because they didn’t want to bother making me a visa to the country of the client.
So is it normal that I am feeling the need to look for another job already or am I being whiny and giving up too easily?

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time
