On the bench for the first time in my career… what exactly am I supposed to do? New project starts in 2 weeks.

Switched careers six months ago and have a lot of ground to make up in terms of salary and industry experience. What do I need to accomplish in my current position before trying to level up or out? I’m on track to be up for a promotion to Sr. Analyst (if I lead at least one project according to my Manager) end of this year but have been stuck shadowing and training since January.

How is the bench like in S&O? Is it across the board or only in certain subgroups? Last year I heard Working Capital was doing very well. Any insights are welcome.
