Told I am being rolled off as project is now getting technical and is not my skill set. Team can manage other aspects without me and budget is tight. Is this normal or should I be worried?

Happened to me, it hurts but part of the job. Try to learn from it. In my case, the next project I found was a perfect fit for me and I rocked it. Hope that’s the case for you too

Agreed. It’s not personal. We have to shuffle people all the time. As long as you’re getting good reviews, you are fine.

The only thing I’d watch it for is if you not getting the skill sets you need, so just make sure you have a plan with your counselor to develop deep skill sets.

Normal! Happens all the time

Yup normal. The work changes and so does the staff mix

like

Definitely normal. For example, phase 1 advise, phase 2 implement... for the advice part, the focus is on understanding business needs, so business skills are needed; for the implement part, the focus is on configuration, so technical skills are needed.

Thank you! This is helpful. We are still in the same phase, though it is reaching a secondary party of the phase that is more technical.I just wish I could see it through to the end as I am so curious. When the partner approaches me to discuss, do you have any suggestions on how to make the best of the conversation?

OP - like others said, this is normal. However if you are in a technical line of work (is your role/level would’ve been expected to be able to handle “the work getting technical”), then I would suggest you focus on expanding your technical skill set
