Hi! How long is the bench duration here? Is there lack of projects?

On the bench for the first time this year. It feels weird not to be packing for a week of travel right now.

It’s like every time I think I’m about to roll off or finish a job, I get pulled for another week or get another busy job. :) I’m fine though. Really. Just another week. :):):): It’s really. Going to be. Okay.

Hello Guys I joined EY GDS couple of weeks back as senior consultant under tech consulting domain. I got my laptop last week. Still I am not alloted to any project. The manager who spoke to me about an oppurtunity was on vacation. Is there any specific bench period in EY? How long a person can be in a bench? Please help

Quick rant: I had an interview with EY for a tax senior in mid July. I followed up and was told that they’ll contact me by end of July. I followed up twice in August. No response. Got word back front the recruiter today if I’m still interested. I said yes. But no email after that yet. I definitely get that they’re busy, but man, I’d really appreciate a yes or no answer from them, as opposed to waiting on the bench haha. Thank you for listening fishes lol!

Hello Sharks, I need genuine suggestions regarding whether join Accentute Or not. My doj in 9th March but till now I'm not allocated in any project. I read many negative comments about accentute bench policy and pip program. Also there are 10% layoff policy.. Is it true??.. Also for me job security is a concern. Coz leaving EY where there is not such lay off policy or pip but joining accentute is bit challenging. Please provide suggestions.

Has a client ever asked for you to be rolled off a project? If yes why? And how did you handle it?

A client I’m on is dragging and I have another busy season I’m starting for a client that’s also filing next week.p. So I have two filings the same week as a senior, and the team on the first has completely rolled off. The client just provided new and final FS on Friday afternoon. What should I do? I’ve never had this happen before, and to make things worse Im barely recovering from health issues. Seriously want to quit rn.

People currently on Bench, are you all planning to move to your office location by 1st of June without fail?

Just rolled off an incredibly toxic project, but now nervous about layoffs since I’m not staffed. Also having a hard time finding new jobs in this current climate, which is increasing my anxiety.

Ah now it did.
