Just fine. But I "grew up" in audit so it wasn't strange to me. I'm sure it's a little awkward if you're not used to it. But as long as you have a place to sit and a point of contact, it works just fine. Maybe they have an audit room you can even sit in?

Yep

Some clients prefer it. Some circumstances make it a good idea.

What was your experience like?

Yep. Definitely for provisions and tax return reviews...I also have large clients where we work from their office once a week--that's when we have all of our status meetings

Good to know, I was worried when I was told that I would be going to the client site until the end of the season!

OP, if I was in the same city as my team, I'd be at the client from the beginning of August to October, so no worries!

Hello All,

If anyone working for Schlumberger client in 
Wipro , please kindly provide some insights whether is it a good idea to join there as a Java Developer? What are the prospects for growth in that project ?

Asking vendors for multiple triple bids for multiple potential campaign ideas before one has been chosen or approved by the client should be punishable by unremovable AirPods looping GaryVee podcasts.

Hello, in my previous organisation I worked in development domain (Oracle IAM Tool and Java)and my post was software Engineer, i joined Wipro as project Engineer in April 2022 and was assigned non technical project as an analyst.

I fought my way hard to get released from the project. However my designation is changed as Analyst. Should I ask for change in designation as I know that analyst is non-technical profile? Would my designation impact my future role as well?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals.

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
