Started at a new agency 1.5yrs ago. Still haven’t produced anything book worthy and I really think staying isn’t the best choice for my career. Is it going to be close to impossible to land a new gig?

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

Guys

Can we expect 80% hike after 6 months in the current organization. I'm not actually planning to move out because of of hike, but because of the project which I got in which I'm not comfortable with. I'm interested to stay in the organization. But my supervisor said I have to stay in this project for atleast 5 years and HR asked to stay for atleast 2 years which I feel would loose my career.

Kindly provide a solution.

Hi all,
So last week I spoke to a recruiter to set up my interview with EY as an SA and she mentioned that the scheduling team would reach out to me to set up the first interview.

I did email her yesterday and I haven’t heard back from her or the scheduling team and it’s been over a week now. Could it be possible that I was ghosted?

Just as FYSA, this is the second recruiter I spoke to during this process and I already completed the assessments and even spoke about comp/benefits. Any help?!
