Tired of work being too slow: I literally have been working 2 hours a day for the past few months; But I managed to be able to get 200k TC. Is this a good reason to bring up to recruiters and share my honest thoughts?

Don’t bring it up, it’ll just make you look bad. Get a second job and make your life more interesting with double comp. I can assure you your life won’t be slow then 😂

I would position it as “am looking to grow by being in a more dynamic and fast moving team, that helps me learn while being busy managing and delivering”
On the other hand, what do you do for the remaining 6 hrs a day? Shouldn’t you be pushing yourself to learn and grow? I’ve kicked people off engagements for just sitting idle and not even proactively trying to find ways to keep busy.

@op I would look for other projects within the firm and roll off if you get a good role. Someone will figure out that you are sitting idle and it won’t look good then.

If they can’t find work for you for months then that means you are either not in the right place or your firm doesn’t have enough work.

Either way upskill yourself and find another position or another job.

Use the extra time for trainings / skill upgrading.

When you will be asked to work for 12-14 hrs in future, resign with the help of newly upgraded skills.

You are interesting, Op!

Pick up a side hustle. You’re in a good spot

Dude just use the extra 6 hours a day to do things you want or to make more $$$ if that’s what you care about
