T1 juniors dont service the client, they service the partner.
Their goal isnt excellence, their goal is strictly billing targets.
Having been there, I found T1s regularly over complicating everything.
They idea is to look busy to client, to partner and to each other.
The general shallowness is only increasing and the low quality shows.
The are hired on their name to satisfy people. Much like consultancies and audit firms.
Sure, let me know when you've quit 25LPA for 25k per month lol.
Moved back to my place and left the big city behind for good.
Happier for it.
The only reason recruiters post things like this is because people are now going for irregular non linear paths especially good talent.8pMost don't know much about what we do and do not understand the practical realities as we get senior. Its also the reason why recruiters only succeed at lower levels. They're a intermediary servive - a middleman - who fake being a career coach to get prospective clients.
This makes getting their commissions harder. Their job is to find as many linear career progressionist to push into T1s for their big bucks. When people pull wool over your eyes, always watch out for the incentives at play here.
