Where do people exit to after corp dev when they are still on the junior side? Thinking what good roles to accelerate progression

From what I’ve seen folks usually have a few common exits:

1.) Exit to another Corp Dev team at another organization for a title / comp increase

2.) If they are interested in staying with the company / business, stay and transition to the business side which is usually strategy or some type of finance role

3.) Depending on role at your respective company, transitioning to Corporate Strategy

4.) Business School

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

Is it a good time to switch to Deloitte considering all the recent layoffs ? Applying for a manager position in Deloitte Digital , not expecting more than 10% hike from my current salary.
