Hello everyone, I need your guidance. I have been on bench for the last 3 months and now my manager is asking me to resign from IBM. Do I get a 3-month notice period after resigning in this situation, or will I be released immediately? What should I do? Please suggest.

Nothing is fixed few people get 3 months and looking at the current situation they can immediately end the notice period.

Best thing is to start looking outside aggressively and get an offer asap. Parallelly you may get a project in IBM as well

I am also parallelly looking out side IBM but now getting any calls from other companies. Please suggest something...

If I don't resign, can they terminate me from IBM? Or should I get it in writing that they want me to resign?

I resigned Epam Anywhere last week because I am on bench since 2.5 month , package in EPAM Anywhere was 32.40 lpa fixed .

Hi all,

I joined
KPMG around 3 months ago but I am not getting work here. Although, I qualified some project's interview, yet due to some internal reason, they considered someone else, and I again came on bench.

I am unable to figure out what can be done now.

Should I start searching work outside.
(I hardly see any job openings these days)
(sap domain)

How's the resource management here?
(do they lagOff?)

Any inputs will be helpful.

Thanks!
