I am on bench in IBM since last 2 months and worried about to what extent this bench period will increase. There seems to be a delay in the data science projects.
Do I have to worry about it ?

It is ok. Ppl were bench for 3-4 months but they got projects. Keep patience.

Ok. Thanks

Don't worry much about bench for 6 months....after 3 months your RDM will start worrying and try to tag your in projects relevant to your skill. Later they ask you to unskilled or change tech based on available projects....after 6 months...they may start putting extra pressure to either change your skill or relocate. But as such don't worry as of now and chill. Try to socialize and expand your network. Talk to senior managers about any openings etc.

Hi

I resigned Epam Anywhere last week because I am on bench since 2.5 month , package in EPAM Anywhere was 32.40 lpa fixed .

Started looking outside and got opportunities.

Two offers:

Citi bank- 3277000 fixed

Mastercard- 308000(including 2.80lakhs variable)

I am really confused between these two companies, I heard WLB is very good in Mastercard, but again their salary difference is too much.

Kindly suggest its Urgent.

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?
