From Campus to Corporate: Navigating Career Beginnings
November 8, 2023

The transition from campus to corporate life is often associated with feelings of excitement, anticipation, independence, and nervousness for young professionals. Upon embarking on their corporate journey, there are instances where companies provide the required training to freshers in specific tools and technologies but are unable to immediately allocate them to projects. Consequently, these young professionals find themselves on the “bench” (a term used when software professionals are not assigned to any specific project and are awaiting project allocation or client assignment), The duration of their bench life can vary depending on how quickly they can be onboarded to suitable client projects.
During this phase, some individuals consider investing in learning new emerging technologies. With the ever-changing technological landscape offering a plethora of choices and training institutes providing various courses, there is confusion about what to learn and how to proceed.
One client who approached me expressed a need for guidance in choosing a technology with promising future growth prospects.

and goals. - Providing various avenues for career exploration process.
- Enhancing self-knowledge and identifying areas of self-improvement.
- Emphasizing the importance of building career adaptability skills for navigating career journey successfully.

‘’It was really nice talking to you, and I felt very comfortable. I got some idea of what the job roles would be and the skills required for each one. I gained a lot of clarity.’’
