How to get into a project while am in bench.- Grapevine

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

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'm on bench for last 1.5 months and there is still no hope for any project allocation. Now I'm bored as well as scared for being idle. Someone please suggest something. I'm already learning new things in my spare time but is there any way of getting a project by connecting someone.

Asking for some suggestions

Data engineer

Hi, 24M working in one of the WITCH having 1.3 years of experience total. I've graduated from Tier-3 engineering college in 2021. Last year joined through off campus. I have worked on two short term projects, one is Migration and done basic scripting as development experience there, In second one done manual testing work. In March this year, my second project got completed and I got release from project. I was on bench for few days after that I got a support project which initially i thought I can do some enhancement work here, but utter disappointment this project is, 97% tickets here are Access requests and maximum work of 2 hrs daily. I don nothing apart from mailing clients n shiet and sometimes call with clients. I got frustrated because of this.

Now, If I ask for release from this project now, will they accept it? Or will it impact my year end rating, I'm getting afraid now. Please help me 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.

I joined cognizant 2022 since then no hands on experience due to client issues. But I have good knowledge in SQL, Python ,Gen AI, Deep Learning, NLP I love to work on AI / ML ,So I learned all this by my own . I am applying in TMP but the managers are just seeing my message and they are not even responding. If they respond also asking for hands-on how can I get hands-on without any opportunity. In the office also I was like going to everyone and asking if there is any vacancy in their project. It's like begging, I don't feel good. I am trying to apply outside but they are asking for 3 years of experience. I don't have any idea in the software field if I knew this all before I could have resigned before 1.5 years.I was waiting for the projects. Now I don't have any hope . Can anyone help me regarding this?

Switching the company after 2+ years on bench

Hey folks, after learning the basics of golang. How do I get into backend Development with Golang? I don't have the energy and time after my hectic and toxic work to do long video courses, unless it's very very good.

Can you please suggest a way that I can learn backend Development in a way that I can create my own product from end to end? And if you had to start the backend Development from scratch, How will you do it?

Current experience - 1.6yoe Frontend Engineering (React.js + Javascript)

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻

Go Backend development for Frontend Engineer

Hi. I’m from WITCH and currently on bench although I’ve cleared all the certifications but have not been assigned to any project. I recently got a call from ThoughtWorks and the HR asked me if I have worked on projects and I said NO and then she asked me if I have been on bench I said yes. 

My question is what do I say in this scenario? As I want to exit the company because there are no projects, and the other company wants hands on experience.

How to get project

Hey All,

I’m going to have meeting with HR regarding  PIP next week. There I need to take decision whether I have to resign and take 4 months pay or whether I have to go with PIP plan and perform certain tasks for 2 months what they will decide and evaluate.
I’m a bit confused what option should I need to opt.
I’m looking for jobs but didn’t receive any calls till now but I’m actively applying.

From many people I’ve heard that in PIP they are giving hard to achieve tasks and pressurising to resign else if got fail in PIP, they will terminate and will give termination letter instead of relieving letter.
What option should I opt , considering all the possibilities and current market situation?

P.S - I have 2 YOE in front end development 

Suggestions from experience would be highly appreciated and can help me.

Okay, but recruiters will judge them by gender as well. Aur aapne to dono bhi (i don't consider LGTV) mention kiye hai.

And what is this new trend of ~gaslighting?
