I’ve been unemployed for awhile and haven’t had much luck landing anywhere. I am speaking to an internal recruiter at a consulting firm for a role that is adjacent to my primary delivery capability. Is it a bad idea to get into a role that is not my primary service? I would be servicing same clientele in the same industry that I’ve been covering. I need a job and willing to explore this path, but wondering if this will be a good move in the long run…

Do not know the specifics, los, services you are referring to but I dont see why would it be an issue.

A lot of juggle between clients, industries, service capabalities between the projects every time. If anything it gives you broader perspective on business processes.

I would just take any job that comes m
