What’s the hot skill now? AI or BI or BA?
Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?

Welcome to Accenture! You'll be fine. Take the time to connect with your scheduler, and get to know people in the office. You'll be surprised to know what roles/projects are available through networking. With a great attitude and positive outlook, I'm certain you'll get staffed in no time.
Thank you for the encouragement!
Once you land on your first project- do extremely well on that project & that network you built on that project will carry you on throughout your career.

Don’t worry about bench time as a new hire. Reach out to others, introduce yourself, learn about them and their work, and any potential work you can help with. It will set you up for long term success!
Welcome to the family!
No worries, when I joined I was on the bench for nearly three months, same for some of my colleagues and none of us got fired. Depending on the project situation, it‘s normal to have some bench time. Take your time to meet some colleagues! Best of luck
Go on LinkedIn and see which people you have in common with Accenture people. Start reaching out. Create a basic template to send our to managers and above.
Go to happy hours or networking events if you have them in your office. Get a referral or add people on LinkedIn while you’re there.
Join an Intiative that you’re interested in like women’s group, sustainability, recruiting etc.
Ask your recruiter, scheduler, mentor etc for any names to recommend you
I’ll let you know when I figure it out.
