I’m sure this has been posted before, but is there a professional way to renege on an offer or it’s always a bad idea? Accenture wants a response for Jan start, and still interviewing with Slalom.

Tell Accenture you need more time. Better than accepting and reneging. And Accenture isn’t going to pull your offer because you’re looking elsewhere. Actually provides evidence of market value. Of course they may say “no” but I’d be surprised if they do.

Hello guys, I am a ML Engineer by profession and have recently heard about the AI Centre of Excellence at TCS.

I've that the COE team is supposed to guide TCS employees on client end. However, I've also heard that as they do not generate any profits, TCS moves them to client side as soon as possible.

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?

However at a company event they made no effort to get to know the team and chose to stick to their familiar colleagues in their home office. I’d like to ask for a new resource but interested in feedback.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
