Total Yoe - 3.3 years
Current salary - 15 + 1 Lpa approx.
Joined Sapient only six months back.
Can someone provide your reviews so far about the company, mainly looking for learning, wlb can be compromised a bit.
Also, what should be the general expected salary for the role and tech in NielsenIQ ?

Not Deloitte.
Yep, exactly same at ACN. Will avoid Deloitte

Not true - Bain has real talent leads who manage staffing and do it very well
Maybe it's your group or trade? I've been staffed quickly every time so far in S&C, my MD gave me contacts for the incoming pipeline and they were desperate to have my skill set / industry background. I'm at manager level, experience hire.
I think it’s not too difficult to get staffed. But it’s harder to get staffed on projects you see yourself enjoying and building a career with. Especially if you’re eyeing a specific exit like “Product” or “Data Science”.
Work in cyber at pwc and they’re good at staffing us.
I have been at ACN for 1 year and have remained staffed . What worked for me was making friends with my HR contact, the two projects I’ve been on so far came straight from her placing me directly and having the hiring manager contact me. I left my last project because it did not align with my interest and explaining that to her and she found me something that did align. I was a campus hire. 🤷♀️. I guess everything really is what you make of it.
Now with the network I have so far I am confident I shouldn’t have issues been staffed either from my network from past project (my old manager still reaches out for help etc) or my current project since it’s a huge account.
We technically have resource managers but at least the ones in my group are pretty useless and you basically have to figure things out for yourself or else you’ll be on the bench forever
Yep, as per my comment above, ACN has HRCA counselors and they’re sitting there doing nothing while 5,000 people are on the bench.
Not exactly sure what you’re looking for. You can look for yourself or you can deal with what they find. Or for a third option is that a project may find you.
Are you hoping that your HR rep will find the perfect role that you love and override the project to get you staffed there?
At pwc the deployment team + directors/partners own that. They will place you based on needs of the firm, your career interests, and your development needs. If you’re on the bench, it’s the deployment teams job to find you a project, not yours. You can technically network your way onto a project if you want to get on a specific one, but it’s supposed to just be placement
Interviewing with EY and KPMG. Both told me I'd have a staff counselor who'd lmk what is in pipeline and find me projects
EY does a pretty good job at this. I actually really enjoy working with my experience manager.
EY’s resource management is great. You’ll get a few emails as your rolling off a client to see what you want to work on next. If you’re scheduled on an engagement that is slow to kick off they’ll make sure you have chargeable work elsewhere but not overload you in case your original client picks up.

Big4 is pretty good about it
I worked for ACN and two B4 and I never used a resource manager to get staffed.
Do yourself a favor and own your career, build a solid network, and find the projects that YOU want to do. Don’t rely on staffing managers.
EY does and I can only speak for my experience, but it’s been wonderful & effortless
I think there are pros and cons to this. I can interview for roles I’m interested in and also see what the team is like before I accept. I actually don’t like to be staffed on a project just because they need someone, and the team management end up being horrible.
Dude this is literally every big consulting firm when you’re new. You network initially to get on a quality project - and if you do good you will get pulled into good projects.
