No one is going to farm your promo for free. The high visibility CCAs 'they say' are SEA events, townhalls, pressos with client leadership. I did interest group but where else are we going to squeeze time when project work ends on average 9pm+ each day.

it all come down to time management

usually BA gt more time to do all this

Developer usually very very busy one, they dun have time do those CCA

Not all BAs? I am a BA myself and I worked long hours too. I don't see a need to do CCAs as long as I deliver on the project and clients are happy. Is everyone doing CCAs? Last I checked most of my peers who got promoted did one or two with project MDs. Maybe thats also why I got passed up on promo since Dec last year

Intern need to learn anything one meh? My manager always say Intern & analyst = cow, do all the hard labour work can liao

please let the interns have a taste of what their future in accenture is about.

I feel ACN is very money driven nowaday in Singapore. Don't get me wrong, I understand profit is important, and ACN is not a charity organisation, but now most of the ACN project is trying their best to treat each resources as cash cow, trying to save as much money as possible. Any viable solution will be shoot down as long as it cost $$$

Whatever initiative they have is with the hidden agenda to "save cost", instead of telling the actual intent, they tend to cover it with some beautiful lies.

For e.g. "Hi John, I need you take up XX and YY, so it will be useful for your career in long run...I also need to own every other flow in this project"

Actual reason is they just want to save cost, and other people who doing are being rolled off, and give reason like "no need you already", "optimizing cost", "your job is done"

The actual fact is, we still need those people, but for the sake of cost, the management just want to push the team more

Anyone recall how many millions the agency fine accenture for late delivery? Definitely do not want that to happen.

Testing is part of a B.A work. So mass hire interns to experience part of the SDLC phase, nothing wrong with that
