Started at EY in January and I still have not started a project. I was told that the project I was going to join would start weeks ago and it still hasn’t due to issues with onboarding me me. Should I just sit tight or start trying to get in another project?

I’m a senior consultant as well.

Try to get on something else.

Clarification: you say "issues with onboarding me me". Does this mean the project never sold because of issues onboarding you? Or is the project happening, but you're not on it? Or something else?

Leave

What? Leave the project?

Look for another project

Proactively reach out to your resourcing contact. This won’t be great for your annual review

Help with business development and be proactive - reach out to PPMDs and introduce yourself. This shouldn’t all be on you but sometimes you have to push since everyone else is plugged into the matrix.

Good luck

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?
