Need Guidance - Onsite Projects
I recently had a discussion with my manager regarding my release and I have received confirmation that they will release me after 2 months(got mail confirmation as well). Since I am considered as a critical resource, I have been asked to ensure a proper handover before moving out of the project.
As I am particularly interested in onsite opportunities, I would like to understand whether I can look for an onsite role within TCS during this period starting from now. Additionally, I would appreciate clarity on the project allocation process: 1. Until when can I actively search for a new project before being forcefully assigned by RMG? 2. How much flexibility is provided in selecting a project and will I have ample opportunities to explore onsite projects? 3. What is the likelihood of securing an onsite opportunity within TCS considering that I was previously promised opportunity but it did not materialize?
4. I heard that if we get onsite projects from different unit, the current unit RMG will not approve to move to other unit. Is that true? If yes, what I can do to move to that unit
For context, I am relatively new to TCS with one year of experience. I am Technical Manager in Azure Cloud infra. Since this project does not align with my goals, I requested a release to explore better suited opportunities. (Note: Before TCS I worked with multiple companies and all are product based. Service based is completely different to me🙃. They promised me onsite during the interview process and now it’s not happening!!)
I would appreciate your guidance on how to proceed and any insights on securing an onsite opportunity within TCS.
- You need to select a project within 30 days, after that RMG will start forcing
- This depends on RMG. If the assigned RMG person is good then you won't have issues.
- I'll suggest don't expect much. Think this way, when you join a new project, the project manager doesn't have an idea about your performance, behaviour and all. So they won't send you right away. But do ask for a project with an onsite opportunity
- Yes in most cases it will be difficult to change unit. No one knows the exact steps. It all depends on RMG, Unit Head, new project manager.
