The bench sure does have its way of making you feel worthless...while everyone is seemingly working on their fantastic projects. That look ppl give you when you tell them you're on the bench, smh.

Dude we don't even think about LOWs until we've hit the 2 month mark on the bench (if you're under A and not on the top of the pay band). Enjoy your time, train, go to the BEACH it's hot, etc. being on the bench this time of the year is awesome. You can help out on any proposals that you find interesting or wait till August September to get your pick of the new projects awarded instead of having to politic around rolling off your current project. I was literally paid by Booz Allen to study for my GMATs last year on the bench and then have enough time to roll on a project nice project.

Accenture India Employees - (1) How much does job location matter in getting good projects for a fresher(ASE- Lvl 12) ?

I am currently in Entry Level Pool-Bangalore and will be 'Soft Locked' to Bench in a month's time. I wish to change my job location to either Indore in MP(top priority) or to Pune(MH).

(2) Should I wait till I get a project in Bangalore and then change location only if WFH gets over (if that is possible) or change it right now ?
(3) Any idea till when WFH will last? Thanks 🙏
