I joined TCS in December 2021 and have completed 2.6 years here. During this time, I've completed three training programs: ILP in Java, project training in Mainframe, and CLP in Adibalta. Despite my efforts, I haven't been assigned to any projects. I've faced repeated rejections due to my lack of hands-on experience and the unrealistic expectations of 3-4 years of experience from various project managers. Some projects were delayed or canceled, and others didn't release me from training.
The RMG has consistently told me there are no suitable requirements, and my repeated inquiries have made me feel unproductive and strange. This has left me on the bench for the entire 2.6 years, leading to a loss of skills and making me appear lazy and foolish. My career has stagnated, and I'm still seen as a fresher. The situation outside TCS is also challenging, but I can't accept staying here any longer. My life feels stuck, and I'm unsure about my future, while others are progressing and earning significantly more.
