Hello fishes I recently got hired in Accenture and my recruiter told me that I will get a project from Kolkata location and it was mentioned in my offer letter that the job location is Kolkata and my digital ID card the job location is also mentioned as Kolkata but today I came to know that I got selected for a project working from Bangalore so when work from home ends I have to relocate. How they can do it? I am not ready to relocate. Accenture India Accenture Wipro Tata Consultancy IBM Infosys

Accenture has now started remote working culture post pandemic. So, you can work on any project irrespective of your work location. Even Accenture has given this option to existing employees too to change their base location that is closest to their hometown irrespective of project base location. So don't worry you will never be asked to change your location in future.

like

If that's the case then talk to the manager about your preferences and if he still doesn't agree about location then either you can say No to the project or talk to the HR. Because these guidelines have come from CEO of Accenture that any one can work in any project from their base location. Project Manager are not supposed to force their resource to move to project location. So call it out openly and dont be scared.

Maybe it’s a short term project (3-4 months). Get clarity on timeline of the project. Also with present scenario companies will have to extend WFH till mid 2022

Also buddy from personal experience. You're better off in Bangalore than kolkata lol. However, talk to your recruiter/manager, to hire you on a higher compensation if it is for bangalore, as the salaries or pay scales at bangalore are much higher than kolkata and so is the cost of living. Good luck!!

I know Bangalore is better but currently I have to take care of my parents due to health issues so can't leave Kolkata. The compensation package I agreed based on Kolkata location as well. Whatever they are doing is a breach of contract.

It may possible that project base location is Bangalore but team members can work from different locations. I don't think project will ask you to move to Bangalore.

It should get shorted out after discussion with HR. Accenture is good in giving location preference.

no plan to open offices till April.. even if they plan they would give 60 days advance notice.

also it's official you can change base location according to your preference .. manager or HR doesn't have any say in this....once you raise request its auto processed

I am about concluding the google certificate in project management, and one unique think I bring into any team is my strategic thinking and ability to solve problems in record time.

I anticipate your responses and recommendations thank you very much.
