Capgemini I joined sometime back at D1 level , I do technical work most of time like coding, dev,testing etc.
I have worked a lot in my 14 years and still have required skills needed for the work. I don't have energy to slog any further. Moreover I get anxiety when I see junior level people doing same work as me and earning more or same.
I feel cannot sit longer hrs due to back issues and other health issues and family commitments.
Can I change to management side without risking my job .

Is it typical for big 4 firms to take a while to reach out after one submits an app? For context, it’s been about a month or so and I have not heard anything, my status shows under review… all apps had referrals as well and they were for consultant and senior consultant roles. Any insight would be great, thanks! EY Accenture Deloitte

I’ve been on PIP once before and I felt the relationship between myself and management was beyond repair… so I used the 30 day PIP period to ‘try’ and improve my sales process (even though my metrics were above quota). After PIP, this particular company offered:
1. 30 more days of PIP as a final chance
2. 30 days to transition accounts/territories and resign.
I used the 60 days to land my dream job in which I’m killing it! Use the time for good instead of stressing. I know, easier said than done.
Good luck!
No, definitely do NOT go on disability if you don’t legitimately need to.
First, take an honest look at your performance. Do you deserve to be on a PIP? If you have a decent manager, they probably hated to put you on one and they tried hard before this to get you to improve through informal and formal conversations, coaching, and other means. PIPs are not fun for either party so they are (hopefully!) a last-ditch attempt to retain someone in the role and avoid firing, and not used as a punishment. It should also have clearly defined goals that directly relate to your role that you could reach within a specific timeframe (usually 30 days). If you think you could honestly do better, and the terms of the PIP are fair, try your best to turn things around. Your manager should be meeting with you at least weekly to give you an idea of how you’re doing. Otherwise, if you’re underperforming for the expectations of your role and you don’t change anything, you’re just going to run into the same troubles at your next company.
If your manager sucks or you feel like you were unfairly PIP’d, then use this time to start applying to other jobs. Sometimes the needs of the job are unrealistic or your manager is toxic and you just need to get out.
If you are having mental health struggles you should have been diagnosed and asked HR for a reasonable accommodation way before you were placed on a PIP. Your likely only choices now is complete the PIP successfully or look for another job.
I would also use this as a time of reflection on why you were put on a PIP, what reasonable accommodations might have made you successful, and determine if the job and industry is a right fit for you.
Why can’t I go on disability if I legitimately am having mental health struggles bc of the pip and my toxic manager
Well you didn’t explain why you had to go on STD- like I said don’t do it if you don’t have a legitimate reason. If you’re having mental health issues that’s certainly a legitimate reason, but you will have to get medical documentation so be prepared for that. If your manager is toxic you need to work on getting out as soon as you can.
