My current project winds up on 31st December 2022. If I resign by mid/end of this month(expecting a few offers), would CG persist with the 90 day notice period with me serving majority off those on the bench or would they consider releasing early once the client stops paying? #Capgemini #NoticePeriod

Hi guys, it's been 4 weeks since i joined GDS , I was assigned a POC task, in which I worked for a few days but now its on hold.

Could someone help me know what's avg bench time or how to get projects here, who should I contact(other then counsellor) or if there's any internal portal to apply for open positions in a project?

It’s the discipline - the secret behind 100’s of Indian American companies is now automated and reduced to 1 hr a day job: 1. Post content, trainings to attract a candidate to your Bench 2. Share bench to other recruiters and clients 3. Connect with chat and close contract

***Urgent *** Where to join?

2 days left to join.
IBM - 17 lpa
Capgemini - 23 lpa
Tech - Oracle apps/fusion technical Yoe - 10 years.

I heard, there are projects shortage @IBM in Oracle Apps currently. (As my colleagues are on the bench for 2+ months in IBM after joining)

Please suggest IBM Capgemini Accenture Tata Consultancy

Currently Talenttree doesn’t have opportunity based on my profile

Help me to choose among following options:

1. How long do I need to wait for the matching profile meanwhile continue doing 201 certifications?

2. Should I resign or no need to because bench period early release might be negotiable?

What are effective ways to ensure your team feels content within the workplace? There is a rise of many people feeling undervalued and not cared for as an employee. I would like to change that. No matter the job, no one should feel less than.

Im starting a new job but still employed somewhere else. I was trying to be open about staying at BOTH places. My current job won’t let me be part time because they don’t allow “set schedules”. Yet I am one of the only reliable and loyal employees in the department, and currently working a set schedule. So why will they not let me continue a set schedule but with different hours? This place is more focused on strict policies and not actually trying to work their employees and being flexible.

Does anyone else feel like their social skills went down during the pandemic? My new anxiety makes retail so hard.

Hi All! Going through previous posts, I can see it is hard to get a comment/connection in this particular bowl. Reasonably so, as the field in itself is so hectic that professionals are usually busy. Anyway, I’m looking for a job switch and want to get into IB for an MNC. If there’s anyone who has any open position in their team, I’ll be grateful if you can refer me. Thanks in anticipation!

I’ve worked in retail buying since graduating from college, but I am looking to pivot into interior design. However, I don’t know how to jump into the industry and don’t want to take a huge pay cut starting in an entry-level role. Has anyone else pivoted into interior design or have advice regarding how to get my foot in the door?

Bought myself 4 bottles of scotch (Dewars) to get me through busy season...1 🍾 left

What are some good investing books you'd recommend?

Told my manager if she could email me the notes from the call. She said "Sure, and FYI - You should be taking notes and not me". How screwed up am I on a scale of 1-10 ?

Can you get fired for having low utilization as a senior? My billable hours this busy season have been much lower than my peers.

I love reading fishbowl during my bathroom breaks. Keeps me sane during busy season.

Remember y’all, just say no to unreasonable expectations. They need you rn way more than you need them.

What are partner retirement packages like??

Do you think it is quite possible to get fired by asking too many questions as an experienced senior 1? If so, i might get fired after this busy season.

I joined EY in January. Had no work all of January, but was busy for February and some of March. I have been unassigned for about 4 weeks now, sending availability emails to all of the service lines we are allowed to reach out to for work. I should not have come here 🤦🏼‍♂️ I know it’s nice to have some down-time, but when every day is staring at a computer, the days are SO long.

Im a senior and got a new associate replacing another one that quit, she’s been amazing and anticipates needs and finishes quickly so that i can offload my work for her. So do i chill with freed up time or go steal the managers job now?

That's when they smile in my face.Yeah I know they wanna take my place. I can tell the love is fake. I don't trust a word you say. I can't look you in the face cause it's not the same. #Leaving #Drake

Passed my last CPA exam!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Why don't I have access to PwC managers group anymore?
