[query] Is it a good idea to say a firm No due to medical reasons to a new night shift project I'm hired in?Accenture
I recently got a night shift project (2 days ago) that requires me to work from 10:30pm till 7:30am
I'm not comfortable with these timings and I'm thinking to ask my manager to put me on Bench (Due to medical reasons that involve mental health)
Is it a nice idea to say a firm No to a new project I'm hardlocked into, due to night shifts?

Hey Googlers, I’m going in for my GCP TAM second round on Monday and had a few QQs for you all:
1. For the RRK2 case study if there is a scenario for handling peak time workloads where the client did a lift & shift of a monolithic architecture, is the best suggestion to move them to micro services to enable serverless and auto scaling features?
2. I was told that they’ll give me 15 mins to prep after the case study is shared live, would you suggest I build a 1 pager or is that not required?Google

Thinking folks aren’t understanding the root of this question. Faking it until you make it is clearly the mindset in this industry, but we all have gone through some type of onboarding to learn the ways of working for whatever project you’re on. What was the case for you? What would you have preferred? What did you like/didn’t?
OP if you are asking this question in order to help your new UG hires a good experience, props to you! 👍👍
Seriously, taking notes - only process one goes through 😀
Things don't really click on your first project. The more responsibility you get as an analyst, the more you learn.
Fair enough. Though, things “clicking” aren’t necessarily relative to the amount of projects you’ve been on (there are certified practitioners in XYZ with years of experience who still can’t execute successfully live) and this doesn’t answer the question. How did your onboarding to your first project go?
I don’t think that you ever fully “Figure it out”, but I do think that you learn how to ask better questions & how to adapt faster once you have a few projects under your belt. As for my first project, I was lucky enough to have a team that was patient and willing to help in anyway that they could- for example my manager had me work under a consultant (I was an analyst) who was leading a work stream. She was patient and willing to walk me through consulting best practices & I was able to learn how to lead a work stream & understand the scope of the project better. Putting someone on their first project under someone that is a bit more senior than them is great because it is less intimidating for the new hire and teaches the other how to coach someone/ lead a work stream.
(Cont) Was it baptism by fire and figure it out yourself or did you have managers that walked you through every process and challenge? A mixture? What would you have preferred?
Mine was 90% baptism by fire, sink or swim. Thrown into a technical role without a technical background. The other 10%, an M from another project took me under his wing and helped me as much as he could when he had time.
Took me about 6 months to be confident and actively voice my opinion. Being able to deal with change without a lot of churn is the key to the game - do not marry yourself to certain ways or working / thinking. Find someone you think does their job very well and study them in detail.
Clicked for me the day I left!
Although my first team took a learn from your mistakes perspective — the most helpful and enlightening lessons came from good managers and other junior staff walking me through best practices! Especially the little admin things that sometimes seem silly to talk about :-)
