Is it possible to find projects starting at the beginning of January? Looking for projects now but concerned there won't be many available meaning I'll likely get extended on my current project 😔

Yep I’m staffing for early january.

Not a bad time, much better than any time in December anyway

@DD1 and @D1 that's good to know! How do you go about finding these projects? I realize a lot of them wouldn't be posted on STAFFIT so I'm assuming I would just need to network around to find one, right? I'm trying to find a project by the beginning of December so that I can be staffed at the beginning of January.

Yep network and ask around and make sure people know you’re looking! Ask your peers to share your resume with their teams, etc.

Yep network, for example I know about 2-3 projects that are going through the RFP process now that if sold would start around then. Sounds like you are on a current project though, will they release you?

@DD1 thank you for letting me know! Do you have a burner email I can reach out to? Would love to learn more about these 2-3 projects. I will talk to my team on my current project. There may be another analyst that would be able to replace me on this project.

@OP are you in DD? Also it can get tricky when you are trying to roll yourself off if the project leadership does not want to let you go. In my experience it isn’t a smooth process. Why do you want to leave your current project?

@DD1 I'm not DD but am very interested in projects within DD. I agree it is tricky to navigate with project leadership. Will talk to the team to discuss expectations. Mainly want to leave my current project because there are other skills I want to learn and other industries I want to explore. The type of work I'm doing has not really fit my interests and I want exposure to other areas.
