How do you measure bench strength?
Hello fishes, I joined Nagarro on 24th of August. But still no project is assigned yet. Basically I am on bench. Now I am about to get an offer from ServiceNow. I really wanna join ServiceNow as it's a big product based organisation and the competition is really high compared to Nagarro. ServiceNow is giving me a joining date of 1st October. As I am still on bench, will I get released by Nagarro soon ? Because no project is allocated to me.

Any layoffs in big4?
I was laid off during Deloitte‘s mass layoff in July of last year. I have worked as an independent contractor since and projects haven’t been consistent at the client I’m working for. I’m looking to get back into a big firm and was seeing if anyone would be able to refer me or help get my foot in the door. I was a business analyst for 1.5 years at Deloitte and have several years of additional experience which I’d be more than happy to share.

Also I’ve been on bench / PTO / working from home for five straight months before. After a while it definitely gets old.
To each their own, I don’t like losing a day at home and spending the extra night in a hotel.
Monday chaos is bad in general. Much rather settle in and be ready to put my best forward
I’m about to hit week 4 on the bench. I’m so exhausted. I need to work 😭😅
Def dependent on a lot of factors; I’m west coast so hate the monday chaos
ACN1 that’s gotta be the biggest bullshit
Don’t get me wrong KPMG, I love the beach but after 2 months I was certain I would be fired (I wasn’t)
It’s not. What happened was I got hard locked for a role that I was told was 99% sold in October for a year (it was a big project so several of us were waiting). I had 6 weeks of PTO at that point so I used a mixture of PTO, bench time, and training to get through end of year.
Early January I heard we officially lost the project to another firm and I had nothing lined up and little PTO left to burn. This was a few years back when a lot of people were on bench and getting laid off at ACN. Charged almost all of January to bench time.
Then in February I think I was on chopping block so a partner I know gave me a BS role where I worked from home and had very few responsibilities to keep me chargeable so I wouldn’t get laid off.
Finally in mid-March I got a real role and since then have worked like two years without much of a break.
I think I ended the year at 75% chargeable. Would have been worse without PTO and BS role but both of those felt like being on bench as PTO was unplanned and I didn’t get much work in that role.
Delicately? What are you packing?
5 months?? After 2 months I got intense constant anxiety and started prepping a resume...
Then do it aggressively
LOL constant anxiety, doing the beach so wrong for sure
Ignore the “for a year” part of my last post - unintentional typing.
