It’s a typical consulting setup, where you’re usually on a project for 3–6 months (12 months at most, as far as I know). When you’re on the bench, you might feel a bit free, bored, or stuck in a repetitive routine while waiting for the next project. But there’s still a good thing—during this time, you’re encouraged to pursue certifications or courses to upskill yourself, or, of course, just take a breather and relax.
