Do make sure your system doesn't show you're on the bench. Make a 'mistake' by showing that your project runs a week longer - don't want to be picked up by a high-burn proposal thing in between....

It hurts utilization but one week won't be a deal breaker especially if you're charging over 100% when you're on engagements (I.e charging over 40 hours).

Except does that hurt your utilization? Trying to understand how other firms work.

Sanity >>> most things! Enjoy!

@B1 - 1 week on the bench won't kill your util

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.
