Pros: don't have to work too hard. Cons: project fit.

Agree with PwC1. I'm IFS and although I think I'm busy, I come on here and realize I'm not nearly as busy as client facing staff. Project fit brought a lot of new roles to IFS even though several were let go so there are opportunities. Another con is the salary bands and bonuses are typically lower than the other LoS but I'm home with family a lot more. Some complain that IFS is the red headed step child but I have never felt that way and think people who say that are cry babies.

I just made the switch last year. A lot less hours and less pressures from utilization goals and winning new work. Cons: different advancement structure, lower bonus pools and raises. With restructuring, depending on your group chance of downsizing. I recommend talking to the recruiters to learn more about the jobs. And be ready for client service to be pissed.

How can I make the switch to IFS? Should mention it to HR?

Just apply.. easier for los to get into ifs than for an ifs person to go into the los

I know people in ifs. I worry about the job stability. I know too many people going through cuts

Tata Consultancy Hi fishies, I recently interviewed for a Big data dev role for Autodesk but it's via a third party called Applicantz. Initially the contract is for 1 year, which can be extended. There is also scope of Autodesk hiring permanently after 6 months or 1 year. Can anyone provide some reviews about Autodesk and third party Applicantz. Usually I would not have considered anything via a third party, but the company(Autodesk) seems great and work discussed seems good as well.
