What’s the shortest time you’ve seen someone laid-off after landing on the bench? Approaching 4 weeks and afraid I might be considered. Doing BD here and there but nothing solid in the pipeline.

What tech consulting practice are you in?

Accenture mid year layoffs coming

Why do you think you might be considered

First year analysts usually get a full year pass (except strat, I think). My first year, I was less than 30% chargeable

Wasn’t staffed for 3 months

Any of you in charlotte? Could use an analyst or two

^ if say, I’m in the west coast, is that doable?

2 weeks for warning notice plus another 2 weeks before layoff. That was at Booz Allen around the time of the sequestration mess.

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 🙏

WFH/Layoff/Security
Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.
I love my WFH in PwC India & base location of Kolkata. & the best thing is stability in PwC India, they never lay off!!
