Strategy or Tech?
Hi Capgemini people, Till 15th November we have to declare our vaccination status so that they can plan back to office for the employees who are fully vaccinated or having report of not having covid. I am Fully vaccinated but if I declare that I am partially vaccinated will they get to know my bluff? Actually I am not much interested to go back to office as of now may be in february it will be fine for me

Having come from another firm, Accenture is definitely a hunt in packs style. Your internal contacts will be as important as your external ones. Your overall practice lead, industry lead, and account leads should be able to help you get some traction while the non-compete is still active. The external hires I’ve seen be successful get embedded somewhere, usually at an account or two.
Accenture's go to market model is absolutely not conducive to Senior Hire integration.
I was part of a large build up in 2020 and exited 2 years later, as the only way for me to make my numbers was doing the work that others were messing up
Reach out and network with CALs. They are the ones that bring you in from the SG to speak with their client.
Same here. Lesson learned for me - don’t switch firms at a senior level. Kiss a$$ and carry someone’s suitcase if you want to gain traction.

Welcome to a tough consulting market.
As a partner you best be selling your own work and not expecting others to feed. Build that book. Gotta hustle.
Ofcourse understand that and I am selling my own work but the chargeability and sales targets here are quite high and without the hunting pack and an onerous non compete seems a steep climb up
It was already mentioned that you should get to know CALs - which is true; but they’re also the focal point for all things, which means they are inundated and may not have bandwidth for you.
You might also look for ways to get to know service leads that are often dedicated to larger accounts (I’m in Security, for example, and we have SALs - Security Account Leads). Other services have a similar pattern for key accounts (Song, IX, Tech, etc). These folks are often part of the CALs leadership team and know the account landscape extremely well.
I guess it depends a bit on your background as well, and if you slant toward any particular set of offerings.
