Senior Consultant here. I agreed to an extension on my current project on a role that has not yet been confirmed (still working out contract details but will likely be finalized soon). However, a new role on a different project is now available and I would much prefer to be in this new role. Can I back out of my current project and join this new role? Is this wrong / poor taste on my part?

Since the extension role is not yet finalized, I figured I might be able to back out now but don’t want bad optics

Talk to your resource manager and they should help you navigate those waters. At least that's what I was told. If you don't have a WBS code, nothing is locked in stone. You can probably reach out and say you'd like to be kept in mind for future work

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
