Hello, can someone shed light on the ongoing layoffs and how the company is going about it. I have been bench for almost 4 weeks, partly because the project I am tagged to hasn’t kicked off yet, but I am getting nervous. How long is too long on the bench before I need to freak out?

Relax, if you are tagged and it is legit you will be fine. Ask the project who tagged you for a BD wbs in the meantime

I was tagged to three projects over the course of some 9 out of 11 weeks on the bench. Totally fine. As the other commenters said: do BD, do trainings, and (most importantly) keep networking in case projects get delayed further or get dropped. And KEEP YOUR HRP AND PL IN THE LOOP on absolutely everything - be a thorn in their sides.

Couldn't agree more. 😀

Thank you both, I was going to post exactly the same. Also getting nervous 3 weeks now on the bench but also tagged. Current chargeability has dropped to 88% YTD. I know I shouldn't worry but hey.

How should I go about preparing for it? Is MBA the only course?
My current tech stack is Python, Pyspark, Hive, SQL, ML, DL(specifically NLP based). I have already done MS in CS from IIT Kgp.
I am confused mainly cause the tech stack requirement is similar to my role in the company.
