I’m an experienced hire SC and a PPMD just staffed me on a staff aug role that I don’t want to do instead of staffing me on one that used my unique skill set. Feeling super sad going into another staff aug for 1+ yr not doing what I want to when I have 5+ YOE. Any words of encouragement? I just joined the firm...

Was in the same situation. Just take it, build your reputation, and try to find something better next time.

Most people don’t realize this, but as an experienced hire, it takes a while build your reputation in the firm.

First project, I'd take it, but make it clear to the partner that you'd like to figure out how you can better utilize your skillset, and make it clear to him what your skillset is and how that can help with this other engagement you talk about. Any reasonable person will understand your concern and will help you with your career plans. If they don't, you need to be thinking about an exit strategy already, unfortunately.

I joined a couple months ago so not first project. Trying not to be picky during a pandemic but freaking out over the fact that I’ll be wasting another year doing a staff aug/ PMO type role and not growing any skills ☹️

Take it and see if you can drop at some point before the project ends and get replaced by someone else. You may have unique a skillset but they may not have anything readily available for you. If something comes up alignining with your skillset, you can swap projects as long as you have the PPMD support.

Reach out and tell your recruiter and see what they can do... you have a relationship with them probably not your RM of you just joined.

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago.

I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.

Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer.
