What are the implications of being kicked off a project that you aren’t performing well on? Part of my thinks it could be for the best given a poor team dynamic, but I’m also nervous of having a poor reputation within the firm. Has anyone experienced this?

I think that’s an advantage of consulting that you can rebuild teams and reputation. One project will really not matter, don’t stress about it. Keep your coach aware and ready with a story.

Yes... I was not officially kicked off, just gently rolled off. It was honestly for the best. I was underperforming due to team dynamics and as soon as I picked up another project with another team, I had no issues.

The quicker off and onto something else, the better. Bad review after 2 weeks is different than a bad review after 6 months on a team.

agree with all of the above. i was kicked off a project after 1 month (was supposed to be there for the full 3 month project) but it wasn’t a trend - did pretty well in my next project and got a first year promotion. you just need to show that you learned/grew from that experience lol

Yes. Damage control: let your coach know and paint the team you are leaving in the worst possible light. Good coaches can cover this up with broad brushstrokes of “project wasn’t a good fit, etc.”

@ senior consultant 1 what? Don’t throw people under the bus. That is terrible advice. Take ownership that it was not a good fit and just move on.

I remember when I first started working on my thesis project. My adviser asked me to get some funding for it, but he didn't give me any advice about how to do that. He just told me that if I wanted money for my project, I'd have to go through some kind of committee process and submit an application for funding from them. Sure enough, after weeks of writing applications and waiting around for responses from the committee members (who were always too busy), I eventually got approved for funding!
