How long can someone be on bench in lti?
Hi fishes,
Anyone joined coforge recently? Any reviews for the same? Is it worth to join this organisation? They told me they are hiring for Santander bank account but still be having client interview before onboarding to project. Any idea on this account? Is it tough to crack client interview over there? Don't want to face long bench hours like it used to be in Publicis sapient which led to brutal lay off. Kinda sceptical to join as it is giving me Publicis sapient vibes.Coforge Coforge ltd

Cogno AI Hey fishes, One of my friends, got offer in cognizant. She have an epfo account with inactive UAN and she changed her name in aadhar recently and this epfo account has the past name. So she raised request for name change 2 months ago and still it's processing. And now cognizant asking the acknowledgement of changed name which the previous company cannot provide for obvious reasons. Will it affect the doj? Or anyone had this kind of problem before?

Guys there’s this boot camp that I came across that trains people to get jobs in Top consulting firms and has a fee plan wherein you pay once you get placed. I just wanted to know if someone here has any experience with this ?

Do you feel that utilization includes bench time?
Effective Utilization = Chargeable Hours / Effective Available Hours
Effective Available Hours = Standard Hours (40 Hours in Germany) – Absence Hours (Illness, Vacation,…)

Billable hrs / (Total available hrs less vacation time)

Professional services orgs are primarily tracked in terms of their utilisation rates. Putting vacation on parity with unstaffed time would create a lot of unhealthy practices around time off.
Having said that, I am sure there are firms that penalise employee utilisation for taking vacation.

Billable hours / 2080 basically. Bench time isnt billable so it hirts your util
