Hello Guys,
I joined Cognizant recently, the project interview calls which I am getting is not from my base location.
I have the location constraint, should I wait for the right opportunity or raise this concern to ADP team so they can look in to it?
As per ADP policy, one should not have any constraints and take the project as FCFS basis.

I would consider this normal
Yes. Do you trust yourself sending client-related into one week into your consulting career?
I agree with KPMG 1 - Nothing wrong with not being trusted at first. It’s perfectly normal and I’m sure you’ll be in the same position as your seniors someday
Normal. You'll be given more client responsibility as time goes on.
I sent everything through my manager for a while (emails, slides, documents). I'd imagine as you build trust you'll start sending things yourself.
Actually really appreciate all the comments, definitey help reduce some of my anxiety. Thank you all!
You just started. This is normal. You’ll get to do more as you learn and grow.
Depends on client...but I don’t know that I would have a new team member send deliverables to a client directly until I had some experience and was pretty confident in the quality of work that person produces and their awareness of what else is going on with the project, client, etc. Also, for a new person, sending deliverables myself means questions come back to me, potentially saving my team member awkward or difficult conversations. 
It makes it easier on the client to find things in their mailbox if they all come from one person.
Manager is protecting you and the firm. Once you are trusted, then you’ll be able to send things. Just ask, “Would you like me to send this to clientname or you first?” every now and then.
Yep. Totally normal
I have 20 years experience and I’ll still have a peer or a team member check edits I make to an important deliverable. It’s never bad practice to have multiple eyes on client work, as long as they’re not reading over your shoulder while you’re doing the work.
Normal. You don’t know what you don’t know.
For 2 whole months my job was to follow my manager press “next slide” and take notes
Yes. They are protecting you from yourself. This isn’t a criticism - we all went through it. My early slides were fucking horrendous. Consider looking at what your manager sends out and how it differs from your original content.
I don’t even let seniors and managers I supervise send directly to the client sometimes depending on who it’s going to
