Is it true that you can get hired from PwC as a graduate and literally do nothing for the first 6 months?

I'm pretty sure you're referring to bench, till you get staffed on a project you pretty much do nothing I wouldn't say for the first 6 months that's a bit long but from the time you join to when the project gets going definitely a few months but this depends on how quickly you get staffed and project conditions

isn't that at any firm too?

I got hired at Deloitte and was on the bench for 2 weeks. If you’re benched for 6 months you will probably have a very short career in consulting. It’s possible you might have a project where you aren’t very busy though when you start. I’m not horrifically busy.

I theoretically belong to a project where I just sit around and hear the seniors during the calls with the client. No tasks and very rare o2o with the manager. There are many at the same situation with me and we got hired together.

Fishes need your help on decision making, of course it's a regular post,, got offer from accenture for team lead level 9 with fixed ctc of 17.45 LPA + 1.75 joining bonus + 27% variable pay. Is it ok to join to that level and CTC ??

YOE: 6.8
SKILL: SSIS
CTC: 13 LPA Fixed + 10% variable pay

I am an experienced hire. My case might just take you by surprise. I joined EY GDS 10 months back at 40% hike (leaving PwC) and now Deloitte (DIJV) is offering me 2 level up designation at Manager level with another 40% hike. This has effectively doubled my salary in the last one year bt still I am confused to switch or not considering the amazing bonuses GDS payed off today. Please suggest.

I’m 23 and independent. Working full time and studying full time is taking a serious toll on my mental health. I’m always tired, unmotivated, depressed, sometimes angry at my life, and I don’t know what to do. I’m in my sophomore year. I also don’t work in the field that I’m studying (computer science) because I’m always rejected without an interview, which is another aggravating factor for me. It’s hard to have time to work on personal projects to make my portfolio more attractive.
