Beach is when you're between projects but already have the next thing scheduled, meaning guaranteed downtime (provided only a short gap between projects). Bench is when you're done with one project and ready to be swooped up.

Hello fishes, I joined Nagarro on 24th of August. But still no project is assigned yet. Basically I am on bench. Now I am about to get an offer from ServiceNow. I really wanna join ServiceNow as it's a big product based organisation and the competition is really high compared to Nagarro. ServiceNow is giving me a joining date of 1st October. As I am still on bench, will I get released by Nagarro soon ? Because no project is allocated to me.
