Joined pro a few months back in TC, I notice that the all the talks of big growth etc. was just talks. Have not had any decent project lined up and been sitting idle for past month. Also, majority of existing projects are Risk, audit and compliance related or we are trying staff aug / managed service (outsource). What is up with this, contemplating if I made the wrong decision to join pro from Big 4.

What sub solution?

Also you’re not posting in the official Protiviti bowl for employees, FYI

Typical bait and switch. They do it to every one

The only time in 8 years I was on the bench for more than a few days was when there was a perfect storm of project ending early, next project getting canceled, and project after that was delayed. You need to be talking to your solution leads and talent managers weekly (if not even more often). If you're not, and you're not staffed... that's why.
That said, if you have an extremely narrow focus and aren't at least sometimes saying yes to work that is outside that area... that's the choice you're making, and that's why you're unstaffed.
The way work is sold means that there likely wasn't a project you could just parachute into when you got hired. Lucky for you if there was, but I don't think that's typical.

So technically 2 months now. Whats your latest staffing situation? Are you data or cloud or blockchain or custom dev?

Revenue-wise, TC is the second largest solution, second to BPI as of 2022. If you’re on the bench, talk with your talent manager, advisors, and leaders in your local office. They can help you get staffed on a project in your solution. We’ve had double digit growth the past five years, but perhaps your sub solution is smaller? Talk with your advisor or consider other options if you’re unhappy.
