KPMG fishes, I’m a new hire week 2 in advisory. I’ve yet to be staffed on a project, is this a bad sign or am I just getting anxious for no reason? KPMG

Being on the bench as a new hire is more on the firm than it is on you -

Knock out training, put some time on people’s calendars, talk to your resource manager, it’ll be fine.

Don’t sweat it. In the mean time finish your new hire check list. Leverage your PML and Transition coach to introduce you to others in your practice (start networking). Set up a half hour to talk to your resource manager. Ask them for intros to others in your practice (networking). And you will get staffing before you know it.

Enjoy while it lasts…

This happened to me! I’ve been here 2 weeks and i asked my PML and she said study for your CPA & enjoy it while it lasts.

It it not normal to be on the same project for 6 years?

Unfortunately, yes.

Means nothing, enjoy free time and stay ready
