I've joined EY GDS, Bangalore on May 2nd 2022 and I have not been allocated to any project yet. It's been more than 2 months since I joined EY GDS. I have 4.9 years of experience in Software Testing. I heard that it's a tedious task here to get a project. I am little worried as I am on probations period now. I had attended 2 client interviews (1 was out of my experience and couldn't make the other one). Any suggestions?

Yeah project allocations are quite slow in EY nowadays. But since you have already attended 2 client interviews and did not clear them, I would say the issue is from your end also.

Mostly banking projects take around 2 months for BGV itself. All the best for the upcoming client interviews.

It's not always possible. Most times candidates do not even join. So the bgv goes down the drain. Not saying that companies are innocent. As they also look for candidates with lesser NP.
