Relax, get some certifications/trainings, connect with friends. These times don’t come around often.

I was on the bench this past summer for 2 months and I felt nervous about career development during it, but ended up being pretty nice looking back. Took advantage of the free time and still got staffed in-time to meet utilization targets. If you’re being saved for another opportunity, and you have a good feeling about your trajectory, id just take advantage of the free time.
