Bench on Interview

It has almost been 18 months since I have joined TCS. I was on the bench for a total of 5 months in the beginning, and finally got a project. I went to the office and my manager told me that it would take few days for document verification and security clearance. I was coming to the office daily but had nothing to do. I was getting anxious since I was just watching Youtube videos for almost a month. I wanted WFH but when I asked they said I had to come to office even if I had no work. Finally, I got a KT from someone working on the project. I came to realise that I was doing work that even a 9th class student can do. The problem? 5 people were doing this work. The problem? I was working 30 minutes a day. I had to come early to the office, login using my seniors login creds and do timepass work. I have to send an email to our point of contact at the client side that the work is done at the end of the day. I have learnt nothing here. I feel that these companies are just too inefficient. I am planning to leave ASAP now. I have learnt nothing and I am scared that I will not find another job because I have the Years of Experience but no skills. This is how IT companies destroy your career. Now I am doing DSA to get into another company.

I have 2+ years of experience but I am on bench for more than 2 years. I didn't even solve 1 single task. So if I switch the company then is it very difficult for me to work there? Can you give me some tips.

I have released from my current project today at EY, I am currently on the bench. How long I should wait to get the next project. Any suggestion how to get that.

I want to know if you are rolled off from project in Deloitte India. How much time can you stay on bench, then too when you have recently been confirmed. Also, is there a risk of being fired?

I am working for a WITCH Company for past 2 years . They aren’t giving any project just asking for upskilling and complete internal certification. I got into a project (Tech:Azure Databricks) and now the client has reduced the budget and im removed from the project. I am 25y and joined as a fresher. What should i do..?

Hi Friends, I was working for past 2.5 yrs in wipro. I know languages like sql, power bi, python. But after joining wipro they allocated me in c++ skill and also they didn't allocated me in proper technical project until 1st yr. In the second year i went into bench then after 3 mnths HR called me and told if i not got any project LOP will be initiated. So i searched for even non technical opportunity and got one, finally i was working in technical support shift basis. Now I want to switch company with my old skills but i not having proper handson in projects. How can I get handson and can crack the interview. And also how I can explain the experience without any work. Please suggest me.

Is anyone on the bench period for a long time ? I have been talking to people who are on the bench for quite some time(months) and not getting any project calls.

I am on bench since 2.5 months. Most of the positions for which my profile was shared with is put on hold. I am regularly visiting the RMG and I am regularly following up with the managers with whom my profile was shared with. 2 accounts rejected me after Client Evaluation due to mismatch in skills. I have 4 YOE. Have heard stated rumors stating that TCS is planning to lay off benched folks after the elections. Not sure how far it's true.
