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.

In my experience, education often leads to positive results. I have worked in account management at an agency for my entire career and its engrained in us that "you cant say no to the client". True. However, everything cant be done at the same time because we are humans and not robots. You will find success if you aim to educate the client about how much effort certain tasks require, to be done correctly, and reprioritize other deliverables to best align with the clients priorities. Hope this helps!
That’s a common agency struggle. What worked for me was framing pushback around outcomes like, “If we move this deadline, we’ll deliver stronger work and protect the team’s capacity.” It helps reposition you from being difficult to being solution‑oriented. Small language shifts make a big difference.
Hey friend, lean on your managers and supervisors to educate your clients. As a junior you shouldn’t have to do it alone. What everyone’s saying here is exactly right. Good luck!
Agree that educating clients as per above suggestions is the ideal approach. However you should assume they are getting their own internal pressure so hearing them out and understanding your client’s internal stressors can help frame the push back. Also as a junior account person you should have the support from your manager to do most of that kind of pushback. Or they can coach you what to say so they have responsibility to have your back if clients are upset.
I like to give a "qualified yes" and say it is possible, but then I lay out all the obstacles, pitfalls, cost overruns, delays on other projects, and every other thing Murphy's Law will bring. The client usually figures out it's not a good idea on their own. You're seen as more of a partner because you've thought of all the different angles the client didn't consider. And most importantly, everyone on your team won't want to murder you for obliterating their third weekend in a row.
