No one is "locked" into a BD role. If you get a project, get on it

A5 and A6 are 100% correct. Chargeability always trumps BD, if someone says otherwise, run it up the chain, especially as an analyst

Yeah keep working on getting staffed. What would you tell other firms if you went looking? That you've been unstaffed for two months? Not the best story

OP you should absolutely no try to transfer before at least 1 year. Look into literally any role on the list you should be getting from your TFS. I was on the bench for 4 months, then I got a 9 month role. Just keep applying and learning new skills to round out your resume.

I've been on the bench for the last 2 months and am currently doing BD work till the end of this month. I figure I should start looking at other opportunities since it's highly unlikely that ill get a project this time of year

ACN 2- that's the plan. Just want to have a back up plan

ACN 3- I'm locked into this proposal until December

What group u in?
