Hello All,
I have recently joined FIS Global around end of April. My mother recently met with an accident and she needs to be operated.
I haven't been able to update the anything regarding the insurance part yet on FIS portal.
Will my mother's treatment be covered under the insurance? If yes, what's the procedure for the same? What are the documents that I need to submit in order to claim the amount?
Can anyone please guide?

TRUST NO ONE
Talk to the Director and tell him your dilemma. He could then be the one that tells the Partner that you cannot be staffed on the mega client as you are a key resource on the small client. That way you do not burn bridges with Partner because hey you tried. Right? And the director knows you are gunning for promotion and potentially gave up a sure shot at being promoted. He can end up being a strong advocate for you. Good Luck!
That's a tough spot to be in. With the information I have, and from my own experience with one of those mega clients, I'd take the risk and develop that business and relationship with the director (especially if the director has a strong rep). The work is always menial at the mega clients and you can get lost in them, which I'd experienced, and it ended up being bad for my growth and development. You may prolong your track to promo, but you'll be developing your sales/soft skills, which is much more transferable than shitty PMO work that you're bound to end up doing at the mega client
Thanks FB fam. Was feeling the same way but the extra opinion helps me feel like it's the right direction. I'll turn the partner down before he tries me to pull me on site and throw me at some role an analyst could do.
Great answers here. I'll say this - don't ever gamble that of much of your own time on someone's word. What is it you want out of your personal professional development? Have a plan and be demanding to *that*, because these partners don't give 2 sh**s about you enough to be 100% transparent. Plus let's say they are being honest and you somehow don't piss them off for them to feel differently toward you between now and promo time but they decide to leave for greener pastures? That's dang near a year wasted if you're simply doing this for *support* (not a guarantee) for a promotion. If you can identify personal goals/levers for yourself for the opp, go for it. If not, pass.
What are your alternatives? Bench? Better project? What are you currently doing?
Helping a director sell a few small projects right now...around 6-8 weeks each. One looks really promising in terms of selling and I'd have a role that's a step up and in my area of interest. Partner trying to persuade me says the prospects don't have the big name his client does though and are considerably smaller in terms of $
I guess...piss a partner off but do work I like, risky utilization, professional growth, and reduced chances of promotion...or take really shit work for 8-9 months in a clearly inferior role but with one partner's "support" at year end
Great advice in here
No one will guarantee promotion. But I would gamble and take it. Because if you deny it you may run the risk of him ruining your chance for a promo. My 2 cents
Was this project in the Seattle area by chance? lol
I would take it. No point in pissing a partner off if he is saying he will back you for promo.
You can always find ways to leave the project at a later stage if something better comes up, say after 2-3 months. Consulting is all about people skills! If you are good with managing people expectations, you'd succeed for sure!
I've found that being on bigger clients definitely increases your chances of promotion if you're on the border or looking for an early promo
