My advisor and various management support me leaving this current project (which I am overqualified for) but HR staffing is pushing back.
Archived. Read your practice line's thought leadership. There's slow times where I'm on call, and just sitting around waiting for the client to report a problem, but that's never more than a week.Week or two. Any consulting industry is welcome.
Sometimes projects in your particular focus area are hard to come by, and it's normal.If you want to be proactive though, schedule 30 minute calls on calendars of people in your service line, industry of interest, project of interest, etc. I started at the office on the 8/21 as a campus hire (after 2 weeks of training), and am not slated to get staffed until October or later.

I work for a Fortune 500 software/consulting firm, and I have never been on the bench. my company sucks but i get a paycheck.New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be castPress J to jump to the feed. After only 2 weeks of bench, I got staffed onto a generic technology project.
I did not join to this company to waste 4 months of my life on a generic business analyst job.While we try our best to put people on projects that fit their skill set, the truth is that we put people where the work is. We call it the beach. Any knowledge is highly welcomed. Any thing else I should know about that user?If you're brand new, just suck it up. I was hired into my big4 firm for cyber security. Like, are you literally not assigned any work?In addition to what everyone is saying here: get bloodwork done, go to the dentist, get a haircut, deep clean your apartment, call your grandparents. I've always heard stories of people posting on Fishbowl and their managers somehow knew about it, used to brushed it off as mere coincidences. It is very common to be "plugged in" where there's a need.

Any tips on how to stay focused during the 6+ weeks of downtime?Go into the office. First 2-4 weeks is the beach. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcutsCookies help us deliver our Services. I was staffed before I'd completed induction training.105% utilization checking in. If you actually want to do cyber, get out now.New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be castLooks like you're using new Reddit on an old browser.

how dare they put you on something you don't likeBeing "staff" at Big4 companies blows. no comments yet. You may end up becoming pretty close friends for life with these people.
Basically take care of life stuff you won't want to deal with when you're staffed.What is this bench of which you speak? 3 years ago. share. Join a boutique if specificity is important to you.Coincidentally, I've been interviewing with a boutique firm. This way if someone asks, "Hey, wtf have you been doing?" Thanks reddit.
When those turn into real projects, you're often along for the ride.Shut up. Also, I would have to repay a bonus since its <1 yr at current firm.Are you at EY? Get a sense of what a good deck looks like.Take online training courses applicable to your field. save hide report. Submissions can range from changing buyer behavior, consulting firm activity, M&A in the market place, layoffs, bad PR, government hiring of consultants, how to get into consulting, what it's like to be a consultant.
What are useful technical/soft skills that would get me off the bench quick initially. log in sign up. Welcome to /r/Consulting, a place for all topics surrounding the consulting industry.
How do I find someone else to take it? You just got staffed.
Not yours. No one's buying. You can candidly tell them.Not as much when you're a new hire. After that it becomes the bench, and after that the unemployment line. Going to keep working the network of course, but sucking it up until then!Get yourself booked on something else. No problem, banged it out, went back to the TV. Some of us aren't staffed yet....over 2 years.
Is this common? best. I have colleagues that were hired in for Supply Chain work but ended up on a financial fraud audit for the better part of the year. On a slow Tuesday when everyone's traveling, book a conference room and fire up some TV show on Netflix to run in the background while you knock out the internal work you've been assigned.Your firm likely has a document repository of past deliverables. The firm does exactly what I want to do. My firm's utilization standard is lower for new hires than it is for consultants or managers, for example.As someone who joined an IT consulting firm, and was thrown into the fire from day 1, this 'Bench' thing blows my mind. Like others have said, not your fault, nor do they hold it against you.
100% Upvoted.
I've been reaching out to higher ups and making myself known and offering to "take on more work" with whatever they may need. a Partner 2 .
The bottom line is that you are there to do the work the firm needs done, not necessarily the work you want to do.If you want off, you need to work your network and find another project that would be a better use of your skills I've gotten some verbal offers from management to take me off this project so that much is done. User account menu. Much more pleasant. Sorry. Passing Success on to the next Generation. Is it normal to be dissatisfied or should I just suck it up? I will be a mechanical engineering graduate when I join Accenture. Nonetheless though, i'm going to start keeping notes of all of this just in case. Shoot the shit with the other new hires who are also on the beach. u/notfromaroundhereee. Posted by. you just have to be ready for work within a moment's notice.Getting involved with internal work like recruiting or proposals is a big plus, and reviewing past deliverables and enrolling in online courses is always productive.As a new hire, you being on the bench is the Partners/HRs fault. I stayed home and watched TV.I went full bachelor cave man and grew a beard out and stayed up late every night and slept in every day.Started in July, still on the beach in my boxers and watching Netflix.
There's slow times where I'm on call, and just sitting around waiting for the client to report a problem, but that's never more than a week.
