No. Been there. If you are new to consulting, it happens. Just ask your counselor and tell them about the next role/project you're interested in. You may need to have a call with your practice partner too. Your current engagement team will need to arrange for a transition too. Just be patient and slowly roll off from the engagement.

Best way in my experience is to make yourself 100% dispensable. Not by performing poorly (bad idea) but by showing how much more effective and efficient this project could be without you.

- new phase that could use fresh ideas -> make sure you are there when it is planned!
- transfer all your tasks to a more junior colleague -> they can lean from doing the stuff you already know
- take on a side project -> show that you have capacity to do other things

Hi All,

I have joined IBM in July 2022. I haven't got any project till now. Skill set is PySpark, AWS, Spark, Hadoop, Hive, SQL. 2 Project interviews are done and they haven't considered my profile.

I have 7years total and 2.3 years Relevant Experience is there. Monday I have one project interview for Production support project. Is it good to go with Support project or shall I wait for a development role? Is it tough to get a project in IBM if you're hired a pool resource?

I’ve been approached my by company (software) that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

This is not good right. What should be my reply to the client in such a case and how to handle manager on this?

OK gonna maybe open a can of worms here but I have to ask: it seems the sudden inflation we're seeing has taken the ins. ind. by surprise. The cost/expense projections done X yrs. ago for this and poss'y subsequent yrs. have been thrown off. Costs to repair/replace cars have shot up unexpectedly. Same for houses. Med costs have all gone up. Ins. cos. have relatively thin profit margins to begin with. There's talk of cost-cutting measures-- incl. layoffs. How realistic are these concerns?

I quit my previous job approximately 5-6 months ago due to toxic culture and being pressured to commit fraud… I fear hiring managers see that I’ve been out of work for this time and may assume I was fired or laid off.

I’ve never had someone close to me pass away and I feel terrible because I am not crying.
