So I have been on the bench now for 5 weeks and I am starting to get worried that it’s because I am doing something wrong. I am seeing other people staffed in projects but not me. I have spoken to my mentor about this but they keep saying they will staff me on the next one, they are just waiting for the client to give the green signal. I don’t understand why other people are being staffed over me. I am not a bad performer or anything. Any ideas on what should I do about this?

I heard a lot of people are in bench or logging time sheet in unbilled codes in nagarro. Is it true? What is the bench policy there and do they fire us if we are on bench for some “x” months

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something. Half of the time you go to meet with him in person, he’s either on a call or otherwise busy. I find that this basically creates more work and makes meeting deadlines extremely difficult. Is this normal?

Hi Sharks,

I am currently working as a delivery manager for a data science project where I manage both ML and DE teams. I am not sure what career path should I follow.

Accenture CEO said on earnings call that accelerated performance cycle will help manage low performers at greater pace if need to pull levers.
More layoffs are incoming soon.

About last layoffs, we didn't do any layoffs it's cost adjustments mostly in operation centers and restructure due new growth model. 🤷‍♂️

How are you all coping with this? Lately I feel so down 😔 I’m starting a new project on Monday and am stressed, I feel like I can’t focus and won’t do a great job. I’ve tried hikes/walks outside, meditation, talking to friends... nothing seems to help right now.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

I have managed and implemented Oracle projects for the last 10 years. I am a PMP, CSCP and PSM certified. I am looking for a change with a salary of 150,000.

Any recommendations?

How did you decide what to specialise in? I’m naturally inquisitive and find it hard to say no to opportunities so constantly feeling like I’m foregoing opportunity to build my “platform”.

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

Best books on leadership and sales skills?

Does anyone know if Accenture Canada is hiring for Sap senior project manager role?

Which is the most laid back, good WLB big 4 and why is it not Deloitte?

Does B4 let people go the same day as their resignation only if they’re going to a direct competitor? How about MBB or a tier 2 consulting firm?

Have people been let go immediately in case they go to FAANG or other industry firms?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
