Already tagged to one SAP project with billing hours/mail — can I still move to another internal project?
Recently joined Deloitte USI as SAP MM Consultant and got into a confusing staffing situation.
One project has already officially tagged/staffed me and I’ve received the allocation mail with billing hours, start date, etc. I’m expected to start with that team from Monday.
The project seems to involve migration/cutover/deployment initially, though manager mentioned there will also be broader implementation exposure later (configs, integrations, developments, full lifecycle, etc.).
At the same time, another internal project team that interviewed me also wants to onboard me, and that opportunity seems more directly aligned with implementation/build-phase work from the beginning — which is something I personally wanted more.
Wanted to ask experienced consulting folks:
Once billing hours + allocation mail is already released, how difficult is it to move to another project internally?
Does RM usually allow such switches this early?
Is it smarter to just stay with already confirmed project and avoid internal politics?
Or worth trying once for the project you feel aligns better long term?
Trying to handle this professionally since I just joined 😅
