I recently joined TCS but I was moved into very different project which was told during hiring. Also they told me for joining incentive but later after 65 days of joining they didn't give saying your business aproval got rejected. I really want to be with TCS but due to project dissatisfaction, I am looking for different job. I am not sure if I can leave the organisation soo soon(4 months) and it should not effect my carrier.

How are onsite opportunities EY GDS?
Hi all
Few months back, I accepted @pwc india's offer but didn't join.
Now I was referred for @pwc US but as I was applying for the job, the portal shows previous application with status as offer accepted.
Will pwc consider me again?
Does anyone have any idea on this?
Has someone accepted the offer but didn't join and later joined again after some months?
Please let me know
Any inputs will be helpful
Thanks!

Cont... I dont think its normal to be this miserable due to one’s work life. Might just be venting or looking for someone that relates so I’m not alone on this one?
Feeling the same way. I mentor/manage multiple junior teams and also interns...I try to stay optimistic for them but my job is so gruelling and soul-crushing I struggle to keep up appearances/lead by example.
I’m miserable working at an indie agency most creatives would clamor to work for. Feel like I should be grateful but I just feel resentment and taken advantage of by the agency.
I’ve come to understand the importance of cultural fit...which I didn’t care about when I was a junior busting 70-80 hour weeks. Now I value work/life balance but am surrounded by glory-chasing, Cannes-obsessed, work-chat-going-off-on-the-weekend type people whose attitudes/lifestyles/personalities are polar opposites of mine. This job has been some of the worst times of my life, but it’s also helped me understand what I do and don’t want. I’m taking that to my next job.
I hope you’re able to see the silver linings despite the crappy work situation, and hopefully find a new gig soon that matches what you’re looking for. 💕
Thank you!! This is certainly my way of looking at it as well. Culture is suck an importan part of it. I realized in this current position that my previous agency which I left for relocation purposes had everything I was looking for and how important it was. Sure I had good 9-5 days and other all weekenders but at least I liked the work I was doing and the people around me. Now im just working for the sake of a paycheck stability while I find something thats the right fit and honestly its just soul crushing.
I think this thread shows McCann needs to start focusing on their employee’s health and wellbeing. People working this amount and feeling what they’re feeling is not healthy.
I was a much happier person when I left McCann. The grass isn’t always greener, but in my case I realized that not all agencies burn you into the ground.
Good to hear. Sometimes I feel like I’m being overly dramatic or it’s just pandemic fatigue, but all I can say this doesn’t feel normal/sustainable.
I see you, i hear you. Same experience, for me it’s a structural issue that was pre-set and i can’t change. I have tried fixing the same problem for two years now... my boss literally won’t help me fix it. Listens to my complaints but nothing comes out of it. I love what i do and i love my brand but it’s getting exhausting, taking a toll on my personal well-being.
Oooh this thread is not a good ad for McCann. Is this all creative department?
Yup

Find an agency with a flatter structure. It much easier to see who isn’t pulling their own weight.
