If you’re good, your leadership will usually take care of you with bridge work within the sector until the next project kicks up. Since we’re sector driven, it’s often a bad sign they put you on bench and are willing to let you go to another team

So pretty much no bench, once the project ends you need to to have another project already lined up ahead of time?

It’s always pretty busy.

Sounds good and you guys recommend joining? This will be Data Analytics horizontal, supporting Financial services.

FS is a good sector with upside and good leadership. Lots of growth this past year

To address op concerns. We hire for needs but it’s not pure contract hiring. If you do well, you will get another project to build your career

We don’t even know what our benefits are like how to get a certification

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?
