Sat on the bench for 10 weeks this Spring looking for a project (met with folks daily and actively engaged RM & Coach multiple times a week). Based on the util spreadsheet it looks like i’m going to fall in the high 70’s for utilization this year. This was supposed to be my promotion year (C3 to SC1) so feeling like I might get shoved out the door come YE. Has anyone been in this situation before?

Few factors to consider - what is your team’s overall utilization? Where do you rank among your peers? If everyone’s rate is low, don’t sweat it.

On the flip side, if it’s just you, you’re getting managed out. What has your feedback been like? What is the critical feedback you’ve received?

10 weeks??!??

I knew someone that was on the bench for 9 months. It happens.

Consultant on bench for 10 weeks is not common. At your level, staffing should not be an issue.

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.
