You get one screw up per level unless you were an a-hole (ie refused to do the work, listen or attempt to get better).

Everyone gets a project here and there where they just dont gel.

Learn and move on

Thank you all so much. I’ve really been down on myself because I felt like a failure. I really appreciated the encouragement. Im ready to kick ass on the next project

What level are you? This is not a career-ending thing. Everyone makes mistakes or has a bad project. Have a conversation with your CC about it, and be open and accepting of the improvement suggestions. Tell your CC you are motivated to work hard and improve yourself on the next project, and ask if they have any other contacts you can reach out to about getting staffed.

Nope. Happened to me on one of my projects . I left that project and things fell in place for me. Got promoted and now 4 years with the client I picked up after. Everything plays out for a reason. Find the next gig

Agree - accenture already spent a lot of money on recruiting and hiring you. They’re not going to let you go so easily without providing another opportunity for improvement.

It’s okay OP, it happens to the best of us at some point. This is the time to show humility and not be stubborn with those giving you advice. I’m sure there is some excuse you want to give them, we all want to say these things but it’s better just let the storm sail rather than trying to beat it. Take the advice to heart and put your head down and crush the next project. You can do it

@A1 they said I’d get another project but I was worried they were just saying that, and that I’d be laid off

Yes. But really no

@SC1Im trying to be positive; I was pretty down on myself and felt like a failure. Appreciate that insight

Op what feedback did you get? What areas were you lacking in?

@SC1 Didn’t learn quickly enough, didn’t ask good questions

@A3 I’m a consultant, I started two months ago (came from industry)

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

Hello guys, I am a ML Engineer by profession and have recently heard about the AI Centre of Excellence at TCS.

I've that the COE team is supposed to guide TCS employees on client end. However, I've also heard that as they do not generate any profits, TCS moves them to client side as soon as possible.

Could anyone please share some insights about work at the AI COE at TCS? How's the team and how's overall growth in terms of skills and payscale? Are there any drawbacks of joining AI COE?
