Hi everyone. I’m a fresher at LTIMindtree, Kolkata for 6 months, trained as SDET. Skilled in Selenium C#, Playwright JS/TS, and API testing (RestSharp, HttpClient).

I was moved to training/bench with no interviews.

Manager says I’m not project-ready; new manager avoids queries.

With ~400 on bench and projects needing 1+ year experience, I feel stuck.

1. How hard is switching now?
2. Can I move to dev roles?
3. Do Azure/Databricks certs help?

Company does not have projects so how will they give you one 😜if you are on bench then your time has started towards termination if you don't find projects soon.

Ignore the above fear mongering comment. For freshers, it's the org's responsibility and they will get you on a project, no matter how late.

Either they will put you on a billable project, or an internal project and if all fails - re-train/cross train you. Don't worry.

Just keep chasing rpm and the right people. Everyday. Email twice a week and ping on the other 2 days. Don't be shy

Really 😂 many freshers have been put on bench after one year and are desperately looking for openings,I don't think you have ever seen ultima engage,rpm is deaf and blind they don't care about bench, fresher's or not,hope LTIm was as you told that it is LTIm responsibility to get freshers or benchers project,why don't you message this OP and give him in your project?

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

I have an interview coming up with Church & Dwight. When the recruiter emailed me with 3 interview times I thought he was asking me what time works best.

Lately people keep asking me why am I not in a relationship. It's not that I don't want to be in a relationship. Ive been single for years and used to it I guess. I'm not a fan of apps (tinder, bumble etc) Another thing that keeps me in my bubble is that I don't truly "love" myself. I've always heard that you're supposed to love yourself before any one else can love you. So again maybe it's my fault I'm still single. So my question is do I remain single or step out of my comfort zone?
