Bain & Company Hi Fishes , need some advice. I joined PwC Tech consulting ERP practice last yr from Campus as a functional consultant. The team I am working with expects people to work after business hours and even during weekends. If this was once in a while , it would be okay , but now it is going on every weekend. They say " the project is in a critical phase right now".(1/2) PwC India EY India Deloitte India KPMG India IBM Bain & Company Wipro

( 2/n). If I miss a call after work hours or on a weekend they escalate it to the matrix manager that I wasn't available after business hours. This "critical phase " is expected to go on for 3 more months since project got delayed overall. Want to understand what all options do I have. Can I ask them to change my project? What repurcussions can that have? given the fact that wfh is going to be scrapped from next month and I will have to meet these folks in person everyday seems even worse. This team seems really toxic.

3/n. My matrix manager is actually the project lead on this so I can't speak freely with him on this matter. Had he been part of some other team , I could have had this discussion easily. One clear option I have in front of me is to resign . That will cost me my joining bonus but I could ask the other firm to give me a JB so the loss won't matter that much.

Is this oracle or SAP..

I will have to stay 4 more months for the JB. But really thinking about leaving. The market seems hot right now and can get an equivalent (if not more JB) to compensate. Even if I don't get a JB , at least I will be out of this mess.

4/n To make things even worse , the work is also very monotonous copy paste type job. Really regret joining this company. Had I known about this role /team earlier , wouldn't have applied here during the campus placements.

I would suggest you to start giving interviews, you are anyway not happy with the current work.
But again, as you would have to serve the notice period, there is no immediate escape.
But one thing that you can do is talk to your lead and discuss your situation, but don't sound complaining.
In the end, if it still doesn't improves, then you can talk to HR and explain the difficulties you are facing. But I'm not sure how much impact will it in PwC. Worth giving a shot.

am currently working as a project structural engineer in London and feel like structural engineering is a dead end job. I have spoken with engineers with 10years+ of experience and their salary is just over 50k.

Do any of you guys in the construction industry or any other engineering industry have any advice? I'm considering either switching to machine learning engineering or becoming a project manager. My degree feels so useless.
