I've been on a project for almost a year now but it's in Orange County CA. It's near the beach and whenever I stay back on weekends, I get to drive down route one and experience the pleasant cali weather and culture. Sometimes during the evenings I get dinner by the beach.

Get a project in Cali near a beach and you won't be complaining about the length :)

Which service line are you aligned to in DD that got you on a 1.5 year long project?

@D1: That's what I was thinking as well. Do you know how manageable it is for people in other service lines within DD or Tech (like TS&A) to get staffed on DB&S projects?

There is no more DB&S.

Clearly you're not in a DD capability 😂

What happened to DB&S? Did it get put into Deloitte Monitor?

I'm not which is why I was asking 🙂 Just curious.

@D2: Umm no, internal reorg. Same people, different P&Ls/leads.

If you want a DD project, use your network. It's still early days and a lot of things are still being figured out.

Yeah, this one requires me to go east-to-west for work too. 😫

@D1: thanks for clarifying! Is there another name or group that it's been replaced with since the internal reorg? Just making sure in case a project in that pops up under a different listing.

No, DB&S has been split across all capabilities. It'll depend on what you actually want to do. If you're a TS&A platform person, probably Experience Platforms.

I joined a project that had already started and the team already settled on creating a user journey map, even though none of them are designers or in ux. I also have no experience in this field as I'm a data engineer. The user journey map was for mapping out the process for tenants finding housing assistance, so not a technical product. Given this new field and type of work, I've been having a really tough time. Anyone mind sharing what helped get you through your first ux project?
