Hello fishes. Need your suggestions. I have worked at Accenture for 2 yrs as a software developer and due to interest in core side, took training in Rv-Vlsi and placed in capgemini as PHYSICAL DESIGN ENGINEER . And it's been 9 months, I didn't get any project. I am much frustrated as I am wasting my imp time. I'm regretting now of leaving Accenture :( Can you give me suggestions on what to learn in this free time? Intel Corporation Qualcomm MediaTek Synopsys Inc. Advanced Micro Devices Inc.

So ironic...
HR: take time off, please disconnect, recharge, blah blah blah.
Projects: You cannot take time off. The project will fall apart if you do.
It blows my mind that you even feel guilty when your take PTO
If anyone on my team did that or told me that. I would start rolling them off and bring in someone else. I'll be you anything, if I do it to one person the others will get it together.

Idk, if the project will fall apart if someone takes a week off then the staffing plan or responsibilities need to be looked into. I agree that the partner should be able to step in to backfill but depending on what the SM is handling maybe the team could step up, too?
Take a long weekend instead if it’s that dire. 4 days will do wonders. Perhaps ask Partner to step in heavier while you are out if team is too junior to handle
No. How large is the team and what phase of the project? Why are they so dependent on you? Can you just discuss what needs to be done while you are gone? My SM takes off all the time and leaves me holding the fort....I haven’t burn anything down yet 🤷♀️

Sounds like the team is either immature or needs to step up when someone’s out. Unless they’re going to lose their minds every time someone gets sick, has to work on some other priority separate from the project, or goes on vacation (themselves included).
