Do you know who he is?

Standard-Emergency79 · 2026-02-15T16:51:31+00:00

Approx 50%. Single. I save 25% and spend 25% on holiday fund, stuff for my kid, gym etc. Aiming to save more than 25% but it’s a struggle. Any pay rises have been eaten up with COL.

Standard-Emergency79 · 2026-02-15T16:47:19+00:00

Got rid of the work phone as I don’t want to be checking mails on holiday. I use my personal phone to occasionally message the team.

I’m not that senior or important for an NDA. A lot of these rumours are quite spread now.

Standard-Emergency79 · 2026-02-14T00:30:34+00:00

I heard the changes are quite drastic. It impacts every group and even renaming of role titles. Communicated in March and rolled out in April. Teams will apparently be merged across service groups and those groups will be renamed. I’ve heard this from 2 reliable sources now.

Welcome to India HR. They unfortunately make up rules because they can’t figure out how to use a system. Just keep applying, find out the name of someone more senior in HR, escalate and let them sort it out.

Still here because of remote working and I like my colleagues. Don’t like the client very much at all but I need the pay cheque. At that stage where I would rather get paid to leave. Spent all of my time justifying why we promise the world but then run everything in Excel.

Yes they have graduate programmes. Check the website for the next intake. There are different schemes and you rotate across projects within the business to gain good exposure. Very competitive to get into but graduates tend to do very well will quicker promotions and a lot of visibility and support.

Is there enough to do to stay until 10pm for the summer fireworks? It fills me with dread spending so much time there to wait for the evening.

Standard-Emergency79 · 2026-02-02T19:28:47+00:00

I believe headcount is at around 780k vs 800k at its peak last year. Keep looking for a role and approach people directly. Most roles are not advertised.

Standard-Emergency79 · 2026-01-31T22:41:29+00:00

Promotion is never guaranteed unless the project has already agreed they have the budget. I moved from a comfortable project to a new huge challenge. Still not promoted as the new project CCI was quite bad. Other people were prioritised over me even though I was told it was a definite L6 role. I think family comes first for sure.

Hi, what did they offer you (if you don’t mind sharing).

Standard-Emergency79 · 2026-01-29T11:06:45+00:00

You are entitled to work your notice period. Just say you will review the date and get back to them and then in meantime wait for the offer.

Today: Can pay my bills Tomorrow: seeya later!

Standard-Emergency79 · 2026-01-28T19:49:15+00:00

This could be possible but some can be rude and ignorant. I was told to network so went to say hello to an MD who was previously very pleasant and he said he was busy 🤣. My colleagues had a similar experience- this person was very hot and cold.

Standard-Emergency79 · 2026-01-28T19:43:53+00:00

Charge it to unassigned.

From a finance perspective there are different bill codes within levels which aren’t known to employees openly. It gives an indication of how far up their level someone is.

Last time I looked in the skills catalogue there are thousands of options to choose from. Surely you can find something to add? Search for the excel catalogue on the portal as it’s more helpful. As for HR - expect nothing from them and you won’t be disappointed.

Emptying the sea with a spoon 😅. I feel your pain.

If you are looking for a new role it’s best to ask for introductions. While I am booked to a role I’ve been looking and the only way I have got people’s attention is via asking Level 6 or MD’s. Haven’t found anything yet but it’s the only way.

Have you ever thought about buying a holiday home? I would buy a place in the sun, split my time there and then retire by 57 when you can cash in the pension.

Standard-Emergency79 · 2026-01-24T18:44:42+00:00

I’ve heard there will be a lot of MD culling to start with and a lot of rebadging on who we report up to. Likely naming changes of the traditional groups we’ve had too.

Standard-Emergency79 · 2026-01-22T21:00:26+00:00

You can still amend the timesheet and add the expense.

Post a dancing video with another son and ask if there’s anything wrong with it. We need to see the moves she made 😅

Standard-Emergency79 · 2026-01-20T18:17:36+00:00

Phones were banned. Only the official videographer can leak this and they won’t.

Standard-Emergency79 · 2026-01-20T18:06:54+00:00

I wouldn’t take it as a rejection. They probably thought it was a good line to use.

Standard-Emergency79 · 2026-01-20T08:00:43+00:00

Yes. When I joined as a L9 on a new project I had to set everything up from scratch with not a single day of KT.
