If you get band 8 , life would be very difficult if and when you come on bench . So your take. Try to find out about the client project and more importantly it's longevity. Have seen many 8 and above people slapped with UTE PIP for being on bench for about 3-4 months after joining . And on the other hand , have seen many people who started their career in 2010/12 with Ibm Gbs , and are working in same projects ever since . Such is the fear of changing project which might require you to come on bench first .

Ibm gbs has lost many a projects while refusing to acknowledge its shortcomings. It's very high billing rates are not normally commensurate with performance and experience . While band 7 is still ok from the perspective of bench policy, higher bands are very risky as same are not easily let into new projects by the owners . UTE PIP is slapped then to ease out the bencher , a very convenient tool to keep the bench neat and tidy . Currently, band 7 are also experiencing huge difficulties getting into a billable project. Try to find out duration of the project .
