That's bullshit, and what your management is doing is illegal. You must be T&M? Have you actually asked your project managers where you should bill your time? I've found that sometimes people are confused about being capped when in fact they aren't.

^have you ever been on the bench between projects? OP isn't saying he's working 40, but unless OP is an SM we absolutely fucking need 45 in order to get percentages up for the inevitable bench time that exists. 3 weeks with 0 utilization is crushing.

Not terribly surprised. Friends worked on a project that went red. 12-13h days, mandatory 7 day weeks. You're doing ok, OP.

Attended client interview in Capgemini last week and it was all about the previous experience related. When will i get feedback from Capgemini.

Getting job using fake experience and fake certificates is easier than getting job as a fresher or switching jobs with experience by serving notice period !

If companies do proper background verification or able to decrease notice period to 30days genienue candidates will get benefited.

In recent job selection on service based companies many new joiners are with fake experience but with good packages, In project managing them is too difficult too for sure as far as i know

So I have completely lost interest in my area of practice mainly because I haven’t been exposed to many matters (our team is really slow) and I am the most junior in the team. So billable work is never constant. I feel like this has impacted my interest and stagnated my growth. I am thinking of moving into a different area of practice that I’m interested in. Has anyone ever done this? I’m actually depressed and I really hate being given work now. I have ADHD. Please advise
