I've accepted a new job that begins in about a month. In the meantime, I'm slated to start a new project on Monday, but I’m concerned about joining and then having to leave before the project ends. I don’t want to put the team in a tough spot (and I don’t really want to work). At the same time, I’m not ready to formally resign from Accenture yet since I want to continue receiving pay for the next few weeks

Suggestions for how I might avoid joining this project without putting in 2 weeks notice?

I mean just give two weeks from when you want to start? You owe your project team nothing, they owe you nothing. This is a job that would fire you without a blink of the eye. There’s no reason to worry more than they would.

Listen, Accenture makes decisions without any consideration for you. So follow suit and do what Accenture would do. Do what's best for you and don't worry about the team or the company - they will survive. Besides working with them you may decide to stay for the entire project after all. Best wishes!

You can say that the project is not aligned to your career expectations and that you will not accept the role and search for a more suitable one on the next few weeks

I love these ethical dilemmas where people put personal greed first

My advice is you got to watch out for -#1, you start the project instead of just resigning now consider the bridge burned as it all but certainly is, MD will make certain of it, but the bridge towers actually among the peers and project team. They will grow with you and it’s a small world and if you end up working with, for or supervising someone there somewhere else down the road that can come back and bite you really bad. Really bad.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

I have been searching for job from quite a long time and all I have seeing HR/Panels asking for
1. Number of implementation projects done.
2. Work experience on S4 Hana.

And if I don't have atleast any one of these, I will not be considered.

Is it really that important ?

Being joined as a fresher - Is it really something that I can decide whether to be in support or implementation project ?

Is upgrading of ECC to S4 Hana in my hands ? And the difference is really that vast ?
