Hi Fishers,

43 days has passed in PDP with Timeline for me and there are still no projects avaliable on TMP based on my current skill set. I am upskilling my self as my Home manager asked me but this long period on PDP with Timeline is really making me nervous.
Should I be prepared for the worst and start looking for job change?
Anyone faced such an situation please suggest.
Thanks in Advance!

But why can't TSC team try to allocate such candidate to any support project.
How can she get allocated to any project.
Many times when we apply to opportunities in tmp portal. 10-10 days noone respond on it. So days pass like that only. It just almost 40-45 days. Atleast they should give 60 days relaxed period so she can upskill. While on project she must be having her project work. On bench in how many days she will upskill. Also must be applying to other positions also.
Now because of such mails she can't learn anything and can't calmly apply and followup on any openning also.
Such a pressure.

With my experience of 15+ years in Cognizant, you have only 2 options at this point of time.
1. Accept whatever project/skill set opening to survive in a macroeconomic situation. Since your skill set projects are very minimal in Cognizant at this point of time. Let's be proactive and enquire with your networks for any opportunity. Senior associate & below grade, possibility of getting projects is high rather M+. Let's try to open for any location for quick allocation. You are in a situation of accepting whatever comes in your way rather than keeping some constraints/restrictions from your side.
2. Only other option to search outside for your skillset if there are any opportunities. At this point of time i am a bit doubtful if you get more opportunities for your skill set in the current market. Let's upskill and add some more skills to get a call and sail through. You have a very short time and cognizant might ask you to resign at any point of time. Let's face reality in the current market and move forward. All the best..

Your from sales team?

Whoa....this is really bad ...didn't know CTS sends such emails..pathetic

Start looking outside too. That will help u. Already it's year end. I'm not sure how many projects can add people. So better be proactive.

I have received same email recently, are you still in bench?

Don't worry they will put you somewhere
