Another friend who referred my first friend, 4 YOE, he won't share exact pay, tells me it's above "10k" monthly, take that for what it's worth. Also G.

Wtf that’s amazing. Are those friends previously from accenture? And are they software engineers?

Hey all, if I suay happen to grad with no honours when my degree is honours cos my results dropped, do I still have a chance at acn? Or my resume will be bypassed cos they look for at least second class honours?

depends on project one la.. <--- this one mentioned more than hundredth times liao.

and also it depends on the people you work with... but generally, you can 混日子 at all levels if you know how to play your cards and with the 1+2 they came up with, it's easier to 混日子 up to L9 lol.

It's more of the type of standards you wanna uphold... you're the one tying yourself up lol.

Should always check with your TFS first but PL is always your first point of contact for any assistance required that you have no idea who to approach.

There's a reason why PL are assigned to you and there's also a reason why they're a PL. They have a responsibility to fulfill when their took up that role. They have the connections, and should also have the knowledge. If they don't have the knowledge, they should have the connections/ability to help you seek up the knowledge you need.

Yup, if you have no project, you're considered benched. Generally when you're benched you will be helping out BD bah.

Actually if I want to 混 i'd aim for 8. Tiagong L8 is just L9 with extra responsibilities. It's only at L7 then your life start to become **** because of all the extra stuff you need to do...

Those in acn now, which management or PL is good and fair ah for the change management side? Heard of a few not so fair one. Would appreciate so I can try to source for projects under their care

Does HR know you have no project tho? And once there’s a project available will help add you in or you need ownself source?

Yes you get paid to do nothing basically. But like I said, this isn't necessarily a good thing. As a worker, you're either an asset or liability. If you're a consultant who's not making any money for Accenture, then you're a liability and I don't see you staying on for long.

And yes, HR and leadership absolutely knows if you're benched. While its technically their jobs to find you projects as a new hire, there is still internal discrimination if you're benched for long periods.

In my case, after I joined was benched for 3+ months with nothing to do. Just did whatever training I could find while constantly asking around for roles. I kept pestering my TFS and asked whoever I knew if there were roles available, but there were nothing.

By the time I finally got offered a role, it was something that wasn't even related to what I joined the company to do. I didn't have much of an option but to accept the role since there wasn't anything else. But after joining the project for a month, I realised how much of a clusterf*ck it was. 2 others who joined the project at the same time as me were just asked to figure out how to do things with no guidance. None of us were even doing anything related to what we joined Accenture to do.

Best part was I got tasked to be a part of a CR for the client, and the guy leading the CR kept asking me how to do things because ironically, I had the most experience amongst everyone. It was a total disaster. After listening to that guy complain to me about how he had to work every day and was constantly getting yelled at by both ACCN leadership and the client, I knew this project was a sh*tshow.
I wasn't going to waste anymore time hoping things would get better and asked to be rolled off. Obviously, people weren't happy but I didn't care because I wanted to get the hell out of the company asap

That's exactly the problem. That's why ACCN has all these stupid networking calls all the time. They say it's supposed to be casual, and technically it is, but it's a really important time for you to get to know people and introduce yourself.
And yes, benched is the term people use to refer to consultants unassigned to a project. Basically, it means you have no billable hours, and ACCN, not the client, is the one paying to keep you around.
