What he/she said. MDs have utilization targets, if they don't staff enough do their Consulting / Strategy etc employees, it looks like they didn't sell enough work.

That being said, right time right place still applies. If you find the right leadership and have the right skill set, some make an exception, but it's a pain of a process

So the best way to do non strat projects is to transfer groups?

If you're sure about leaving Strategy then yes. Otherwise you can get lucky (persuasive) and get on one or two. But overall they'll keep trying to put you on Strat until you're no longer aligned to it

If you're an analyst tfs sent can email several weeks ago saying strat analysts can be staffed on short term MC or digital projects.

A1 is not in Strat so I apologize for the misinformation^ my knowledge comes as a MC Analyst trying to get staffed on a Strat project

Yes, absolutely. The MC/TC partner will make a case for you and then you can code it as a mixed project. Probably can't do too many of these in a row, however for the right project- with the right people - it can make sense.

So is it possible for me to change my team internally where there is no coding activity like monitoring or support.

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.

Could anyone please share some insights about work at the AI COE at TCS? How's the team and how's overall growth in terms of skills and payscale? Are there any drawbacks of joining AI COE?
