Bain fish, I am interviewing for a Senior Knowledge Specialist position. This is not a client-facing role, but still seems interesting. Any insights on the practice, role, etc.? Thank you in advance.

It’s not a practice. You end up doing research and supporting the consulting team. Like if I need information I can’t find, or just need someone to pull all the financials for 30 companies in the same industry because I don’t have capacity, or just an overview / recent news regarding an industry or a company.

You probably get paid ok for the job and you don’t work consulting hours, but the upward trajectory is also not the same either. And moving into client-facing will be very hard.

Helo everyone,

I have put down the papers from infosys and my LWD is near . I have to choose between DXC with 22 LPA and TCS with 18 LPA . I am a mainframe developer with 11 years of experience.
I have asked TCS to revise the salary but that seems unlikely that they will match the difference.

I am a mainframe developer with 11 years of experience.

Please let me know your inputs .

I’ve doing this for a good number of years. I think I depleted almost completely my interest in this business. When I’m out of the office or during the weekends I get into a “leave me alone state” and don’t want to know anything about the office. I actually just want to get in the agency, do the best I can within the time I have available, and get out. In a business where “the most committed wins” this is not an ideal mindset, but I’m done. Anyone else experiencing something similar?
