Need help

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 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?

Anyone hiring for a yoe 1 years 6 months with a skillset - HTMl, CSS, Javascript, Bootstrap, SQL, Java With a very basic knowledge of spring-boot ?

Hi Friends, I was working for past 2.5 yrs in wipro. I know languages like sql, power bi, python.

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.

Hey guys, I'm stuck in an MNC currently without any real world project for almost half an year now. I've been building projects on my own and looking for a switch. Since, situation in the market is a little tight, I'm hardly finding any non internship opportunities for freshers. Kindly let me know of any sources or any suggestions on how to move on from here. Seeing my friends getting fired from FAANG co. and still not get any other offer makes me more disheartened. Please help.

Hello All..I have been a consultant for the last 9+ years working on the same industry tool. Recently the tool got migrated and all our IT experience has become meaningless . Having a difficult time looking for projects and not getting any calls. I am absolutely fine with reskilling/upskilling and I even started learning and acquiring the certifications.The problem is that we need to have some hands-on experience in the new technologies along with certifications and then only we can get any project.

It nice to connect here I have 2.8+ years of experience in cognizant now due to layoff I am facing issue in getting any job so if anyone here can refer me in their respective organization wo it will be very helpful for me in this tough time. I have experience in data analyst role or bussiness analyst or power bi developer or any related field. I was working as associate in cognizant. Thnks in advance

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.

So basically like every time I see a job vacancy I do apply for it.. But I'm not sure why I never get any calls back Or mails and these days I only see vacancies where they want only experienced people like more than 5 or 10.. I mean...where am I going wrong in this job hunt... I'm having 2 yrs of exp where I have wasted 1 yr being in bench so I could say I didn't get a lot of insight for my yrs of exp.... It sucks tho.... 😢 where should I start now what should I do? Completely blank...
