Would you rather be staffed on short or long projects? Pros/cons to each? I’ve only been staffed on short projects as we only have 1 long project. Colleagues have noted the long project is like a 9-5.

Yeah my first job ever in Consulting was being staffed on a 5 year engagement... things seemed pretty easy after the 1 year mark. Needless to say, got a new job now and I’m struggling to keep up with the reality of consulting and being staffed on short projects. Learning curve is quite steep.

In my experience, shorter projects tend to bring more stress as deadlines are tighter; in addition, when I am staffed on short term projects, I tend to be put on multiple short term projects versus when I am on a long-term project where I only have to focus on that one project.

Short term projects can be fun. You get to meet and work with different teams/people. But I hate the downtime between short term projects. Feel very stressful reaching out to different people asking for projects every few months.

Looking for tips. College was not for me while I was young. Since then I have built a great track record at my previous job in sales, succeeded in a project manager internship, and have exceeded at the role for a year now. Unfortunately, I do not like the direction the company is headed in and want to move on. I have gazed at new companies but the lack of “education” seems to be a reoccurring obstacle. Being in the bay area competition for these roles can be a bit tough. Any tips or tricks?

I got a call for a Java position. I told them I do not develop in Java. I do JavaScript with React. He says “oh yes, that is what the client wants”. So I sent my resume. When he sent the confirmation email it stated Angular/Java. I told him that I don’t have much Java skills. He then sent this (pic) as a response. 🤔🤔🤔
When I spoke to the client she had no idea why the recruiter added angular react as it was just a Java developer position, Completely wasted so much time
