OP your post is confusing. Why are you being rolled off? Pigeon hole is the opposite of being rolled off. In any case if they are rolling you off but rolling someone else on to do the and thing you were doing, it's objectively bad for you.
Roll off falls into generally a few categories: lack of funding, lack of work, not a good fit, or internal / client politics. If not the first two. You could have rubbed someone the wrong way a few times and they frankly got tired of you. Or, there's something going on right in front of you that you haven't been able to see
Re: the experienced hire thing. I'm an analyst who was hired as a fresh grad and have been on the same project for nearly 2 years now. I've seen a revolving door of experienced hires on my team who left after determining it wasnt a good fit or were asked to roll off...usually due to a combination of items below.
1. Strong adherence to their preferred method for delivering work and unwilling or unable to be flexible in doing things how our client wants
2. Lack of initiative to take ownership, have to be told what to do even when hired at manager level
3. Feeling 'above' certain tasks due to experience level and unable to swallow pride and just make sure the work gets done
With that said, I've also worked with some amazing and inspiring experienced hires who've stuck around and really made an impact. From a neutral perspective, I think success or failure is largely determined by a person's behavior in the three areas above
If they are rolling you off because the work you were doing is done or the client decided to go another direction unrelated to bad deliverables from you, then you're fine. So we need more context.
OP, you sound insecure in your place in the firm as well as your own abilities. Is consulting the right field for you?
indicate that. Rating is good at on track for promotion, yet after about 6 months on a project, the SM seems to do a 180 and roll me off. My concern is that it is a pigeon hole thing or something along those lines. Objectively, I have strong skills, but do not have much interest in connecting with my colleagues as I think acting professionally is the standard, and I feel like there is a second class status for experienced hires as was very strongly conveyed to me on my first two projects and is generally evident as part of the culture.
If they tell you it had nothing to do with your work, but it was because the funding was shut down for the project you were working on, are you good then? Or is there some sort of automatic stigma for being “rolled off,”. At some point, is it irrelevant if you were an experienced hire? Say after your first year, considering your doing well?
A2 I’d like to know that too. I feel like as long as you explain that to your CC but the work you did while there was good, they can communicate that for you. But idk how effective an employee you can be perceived as if every project you’ve done is so short due to funding shut downs. So I’d like to know the answer to that as well
I was experienced hire from industry and on my first engagement I had challenges with basic consulting fundamentals that they teach campus hires (meeting notes, PowerPoint, etc). Bc of my experience I did not think I needed to do those things at my level bc I had technical knowledge (Senior). Almost got rolled off but after realizing the expectation was to still do it was able to pivot and got promoted a couple years later. Not sure that’s your problem but I’ve seen similar challenges from ppl coming from industry feeling they aren’t valued but it’s really about understand the culture and expectations
