I have been on the beach for a long time. Everything i have tried to get off the bench hasn't worked. I have had countless interviews, and it seems either im not added or the contract falls through. I am pretty sure they are going to fire me at year end and im freaking out. I hate that deloitte makes getting on a project your fault. I am not in charge of what projects you get or how long it takes to get the contract signed. I spent 4 weeks on a probono project and they dont care...

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
