Hello everyone,

I am planning to take my GMAT Exam in September.

My current project has ended and I will be going on bench on 12th August. Can I continue my bench time till 1st September to prepare for my exam? (I need 2.5 weeks of bench time)

If yes, how?

Simple, reject the project calls

Till now I received 3 calls and I replied "I'm looking for a project in another domain, I'm not well equipped with your required skillset" (This is infact the truth too).
After hearing this reply, the other side simply cancelled the call (I'm guessing it counts as unofficial and indirect No and has worked smoothly).

I'm planning to do this till 1st September and put my status as OOO on Teams till I give my GMAT.

And on 2nd September, I sign back in and ask around my previous managers in Accenture for an allocation in a project.

How sound is this plan? Or do I follow any other process?

DE aligns most with my learning patterns and I dont think I will require a further degree for that.

However, for DS jobs I feel recruiters ask for relevant DS/ML experience and/or a degree in stats/maths to reflect that the person is aware in theory/practical at least.

I feel getting a DS job will be slow and time taking for me.
Please suggest/advice. Want to discuss this.
