Trending @Accenture; Notice Period Extension & Bench Transition – Seeking Guidance

Hi Connections,

I hope you're doing well. I’m currently serving my notice period and had initially been under a 30-day notice probation. However, as of today, that period has ended, and my notice period has been officially extended to 60 days.

My current project is expected to conclude by the end of July. After that, I will be moving to the bench, which I’ve heard might allow for an early release — is there a buyout option available if someone is on the bench during the notice period? Any clarity or shared experience would be highly appreciated.
