Hey, I recently joined EXL. Currently they have put me on Project Bench where multiple engagament managers call me for their project requirements.
Ques1. Do I have an option to say No if some skill is not aligned? How long can I be on project bench? Any repercussions if my manager wants me to join and I don’t want that?
Ques 2. Can I reach out to someone else in common EXL pool and how?

2. YES DEFINITELY.

1. Can't say precisely, but staying on bench looks bad in the organisation if for long. Either reach out to people aligned to your needs and skills or ask your manager for some guidance

You shouldn't say no if you don't have any other option, if you want to increase your chances of being employed. Cause being on the general pool for long is bad and you can be asked to leave.

Hi fishes,

This annual appraisal I have got a good % of appraisal increment on my salary but I was not promoted to a senior developer (although I have been mentoring a junior dev in my team and been part of building the project by implementing new technologies and tweaks) and my total YoE is 3.5+ years. What could be the reasons? What should I do now?

Thanks in advance!!
