Start on a new project

likehelpful

think of it as a blessing that you can qualify anything you say with “i’m new, so i’m not familiar with what happened before...” and it’s totally acceptable. works for a little while.

Get acquainted with the team first. Then start learning the project. Once you've established the bons it'll be easier to play along.

I always try to remind myself that even the worst projects had positive elements (i.e., maybe client was a nightmare but the team was amazing and i developed a great relationship with my director, etc.)

Guys. I need your suggestion. Shall i stay here in Kolkata or return back to my home town for a month or two provided Magnet doesn't have any space. My home town is nearby. It's not commutable by road but i can come here in short notice if any. I'm currently not assigned to any project so no one checks if I go to office. I have a home here, I have updated address of this place in Kolkata. But I want to stay in my home for some more days 🥺 Salt Lake will open then I would have no option to leave

Hi Accenture people, got offer today, asked HR about project, she mentioned it will be mapped on first day itself and will be connected with project manager. I told her i need details about the project and she said she will talk to project manager and get back to me tommorrow. Everyone says we have to search project after joining only. So any idea if this scenario can happen? Anyone got to know project details before joining? Please share ur views.

I'm 6 months old at D! Planning early promotion next year.. counselor and pm both are backing me.. I need to go to India for at least 4 weeks in Dec ... most probably would be rolling off from current project by then .. would this vacation hurt my promotion chances coz of utilization etc?

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
