You need to 1) find another project & 2) find your replacement that can start the same time you roll off.

A bit challenging, but I managed it earlier this year

I’ve seen people threaten to leave the firm if they’re not allowed to roll off. It’s worked for high performers and others really did quit the firm cos they were done. If you choose to go this route, make sure you’re a very high performer whose work is well appreciated or leadership might call your bluff

Hey Fishes,
Been working at D India as a Manager (Not USI) for past few months.
Ask me anything as there are very few reviews available online.
To clear few misconceptions
1. Global projects are available here
2. They've started mentioning Bonus, Gratuity amount etc in offer letter
3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
5. PF amount in offer letter is the total deduction and not just company's contri

Very Noob question: First year here that has done DD for a couple of deals representing the seller now.

Specifically, what does the buyer do with this? It seems like these provisions should trigger but nothing then happens...
