Following this. I’m an analyst and on my first real project. Things are starting to make more sense now that I’ve been 2 weeks in. Just give it your all and ask as many questions. Study whatever your topic is and give it your all. If you have the proper support then you will be alright :).

It takes months for things to click. It did for me and it does for most, whether they acknowledge it or not. Always try to keep learning and good things will happen.

Build relationships. I have seen folks know nothing but survive and thrive by building relationships with bosses and clients.

Google, YouTube. Peers

Yeah I just asked as many questions as possible and YouTube/Google answers a ton. It took a while to realize it’s okay to sound like you don’t know what’s going on (it’s usually expected) as long as you’re making a serious effort to get up to speed.

Now he is being asked by his team to work from Ahmedabad, where his direct supervisor (manager) is working from. In this case, according to TCS talent policies, what is the procedure and the benefits that he can avail, as part of project initiated relocation? Also, how long it takes to get base location changed through HR in TCS?
