Trending @Accenture; Stop hiring @ S&C GN India
If there's any lead here from S&C GN, stop hiring freshers from awesome b schools and colleges and ruin their careers.
All we have is a bunch of SAP implementation projects. And there also we are struggling due to high LCR. Why are we training them as ServiceNow analyst, PMO, JIRA admin and making them work basic shit excel juggler. There as well we can't place them on HL,due to high LCR and you have insane ideas to put them on vertical specific clients only.
And you are hiring from prestigious b schools, commerce and humanities grads from premium colleges and then what? They are not picking up any real world skill, nor has exposure to industry processes.
We are unable to pull them in projects. They don't have any relevant experience, SMs are unable to place them in teams. And charge ability targets are on the rise.
We are competing with ATCI and losing on cost rate. Stop this shit show, merge us with ATCI.
Truly agree, but I guess that's Consulting in general (maybe excluding MBB). Folks in the bschool should understand that while the CTC looks premium, it takes you away from the real world learnings. Better to get into consulting after you develop a functional or industry-led understanding muscle.
Sounds like a lot of noise. Focus on delivering results with what you have. Complaining won't solve anything. Adapt or get left behind.
How? I come from a ERP background and got into SAP easily. These analysts and associates are picking up SAP from learning hub, practicing on sandbox and trying to get into projects. As their rates are higher, they are being asked to have experience, which is a valid argument for a PM. But how will they have experience? There needs to be a structured approach to get them into a meaningful stream and not throw them into the water where they end up doing a whole bunch of random work for a couple of years and then left with no marketable skill.
Usually analysts are taken into SAP projects as PMO or tester where they are groomed as an SAP consultant. From their next project onwards they are projected as an experienced consultants. It becomes another persons KPI to mentor the new analyst into a niche SAP skill. I don’t see any gap there. Since these analysts are from premium institutions, they are very quick learners and become well versed soon.
I completely second this
