I've done 6 months as an intern post-grad and currently 2 months into my FT role but I'm really starting to feel like consulting might not be my thing. Would you suggest I toughen it out for another 4 months to hit the 1 year mark, or can I only count 12 months fte when hunting for jobs? I feel like it's really taking a toll on my mental health. Thanks for your suggestions.

If you’re only 2 months in and already know it’s not the right fit, leave sooner rather than later. You can eliminate this experience from your resume and apply for entry level roles.

Look for exit ops rn. I left consulting after 4 months post-UG (2 years ago), and at this point in time has been a clutch move.

It’s pricey, but leverage InMails. I was lucky to have had a free trial, and spent a little extra on additional inmails

I have 6 YOE in. Net+Angular and got an offer from Legato Health Technologies with 20 LPA Fixed, i joined Infor just 11 months ago with 12LPA Fixed and i will get the hike in August. If i resign now i will not get hike and i am a critical resource in the project, i guess Infor might try to retain me by matching offer. What should i do? Should i resign ASAP and not negotiate with Infor . I have all these doubts because Infor is a product based company.

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?
