New job at another big 4 and my client list is longer than my peers. When would be best to have a conversation about my schedule? I know there is a need for more seniors and I feel I got stuck...cont

Relax. Perhaps this list of clients don’t have work that hit at the same time. Why don’t you cool your jets on this “conversation” and get a feel for things first. Just helps you prepare for this talk if needed.

How many hours are you scheduled for? If you have 10 clients and 1800hrs on your schedule and your peer has 7 clients but also 1800 hours, it’s fair game.

However, I also know what the right client mix is from my experiences. When y'all think I should bring this to their attention?

Some client engagements are small and won’t take as long compared to others. Therefore, you could just be staffed on multiple smaller clients as you are new to the group. They normally don’t put new staff on the larger/complex clients immediately based on my experience

Good chance you joined at a wrong time. If you’re not properly staffed to get to good utilization HR may loan you away, but there’s no opening on bigger accounts, so each seniors or managers gave away a small account and there, you have 20 clients that will pay you next to nothing and keep you utilized

At least a year

Still there’s nothing to stress over yet. The work will balance out. If you prove yourself, you will get transitioned into better projects and clients. Give it time.

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?
