Is there concept of bench in product companies
Hi all,
I joined KPMG around 3 months ago but I am not getting work here. Although, I qualified some project's interview, yet due to some internal reason, they considered someone else, and I again came on bench.
I am unable to figure out what can be done now.
Should I start searching work outside.
(I hardly see any job openings these days)
(sap domain)
How's the resource management here?
(do they lagOff?)
Any inputs will be helpful.
Thanks!

If you feel like you are always on the bench, make sure you are asking for work often. Send an email out, including the partners in your group. While the responsibility largely lies on the managers/partners to keep people utilized, it can be easy for this to go unnoticed in a hybrid work environment. If your hours are low one week, but I see that you were making it known you were seeking work, or poking your head into my office asking for work, it will definitely look better for you. I know we have situations where our seniors feel so stretched that they feel it's easier to just do the work themselves than coaching...that's an issue. And by taking the steps above, would be identified and hopefully addressed.
If you can show that you reached out and asked for work many times throughout the year and did not get any you are fine. If you’re sitting around waiting for work and no one knows you need work then it will fall back on you.
It’s important but for 1st years it isn’t that important.
not that important tbh. most staff 1s get the same raise their first year regardless of utilization and reviews. i had peers with like 40% utilization that were fine. it starts to matter and differentiate you more your second year.
It’s a very major factor at the associate/senior level along with overtime hours.
How much do delinquent trainings affect raises is the real question. 2 months in 60 hours a week in advisory- ain’t no one got time for workplace harassment training
I’d be more concerned about not getting relevant experience and therefore not being able to be a good 2nd year. Can you reach out to people and ask if they need help? Maybe someone didn’t need enough help to bother to put in a request with the staffing group, but perhaps they’d have something you could help with for a couple hours here and there at least.
I feel like it’s not that important. I’ve always barely been unassigned since I started 3 years ago though.
All first year associates get the same raise but not the same bonus. Impact tier affects bonus. With the amount of learnings, and also adjusting to your new role, utilization doesn’t really matter (of course let’s not have it at 0). What matters most is your snapshots. If your managers and above state that you are learning and grasping concepts, then I think you’ll be fine.
As Pwc2 said be sure to document that you reached out for work if you’re not reaching out to the scheduler directly. Aka do it by email not teams. My first year I had 2 weeks straight of not even having 40 billable hours and was reached out to. Showed the emails and the trainings I completed while waiting for work and I got exceeded expectations on my performance review and nothing additional came of it.
