What would you do if you were me ? I have job hopped an insane amount. Finally landed in more of a tax advisory role at the big four (been here for 7 months). I’m def the weakest link, low utilization . I reach out for work,but nothing. January I have been told I’ll be loaned out for tax compliance/returns. Should I keep reaching out for work or just chill until January ?

Also yes, keep reaching out for work. Once you plant the seed that you’re free then some will think to ask for your help
