Thank u so much!!

You get paid base salary + year end bonus (plus benefits, 401K match). You get paid regardless of if you’re on a project or unstaffed known as “on the bench.” There’s no overtime if you’re on a project and working more than 40 hours per week. But there’s also no penalty if you’re on the bench working 0 hours a week or a project working 35 hours a week

This may sound like a stupid question but thanks for your patience

Do managers need to sell in order to stay in the job at big4 or get promoted?

Not at the manager level. Usually managers are reasonable for leading the project or work stream after the managing directors / partners (at times the senior managers) have sold the projects. Managers may help work on proposals when they’re on the bench though

I am working as a technology consultant specialist in PwC ac. As of now I'm working on an internal project of the company but i have received mail from a senior that if someone wants to volunteer for this project "financial service capital market- COI" should i opt or not? Will it be useful?

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
