What practice OP ?

You'll always have periods of bad luck on scheduling, or soft periods in every practice. It just happens, and this time of year lots of clients are on vacation which can delay both contracts and project startups. Make sure you pester your scheduler and work with your coach, RP and others on your team to help out with proposals and other initiatives so you remain useful (versus just sitting on the bench) and can show that you used the downtime productively.

Working with coach, RP, HR, doing a lot of BD.

@TC1 I don't want to say what practice publicly, but I'm in FS

It's been slow generally in the economy since November.

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?
