Great question! You're certainly not unsafe. What it means is: the company is looking at you and thinking, “where do we slot this skill best?” Sometimes that takes weeks, sometimes months.

Safety in consulting anyway isn’t about projects handed to you, it’s about the grace and value you show when you’re waiting. Pick up certifications that are hot in your vertical (cloud, genAI, data strategy - depends on your path). Network internally, let managers know you’re free and willing. Document what you’re learning. Visibility matters as much as skills.

You’re safe if you make yourself too relevant to ignore. Unsafe if you sit quietly and hope. So no, don’t panic. But don’t idle either. Use this gap as a runway because once the right project comes, you’ll either walk in as “the best available resource” or “the guy we’ve been waiting for".
