Worked at Cognizant. Company is good for its desi nature. Mostly staff aug work in consulting. Although I know they are building ‘true’ Consulting capability and investing heavily on SMAC.

Thanks k1. What made you leave?

If you’re citizen/gc then move can be nice, they are paying heavily

If you are Director at big 4 you should seek for Sr D or AVP at Cog

Director in cio advisory

OP left because of work. Didn’t want to just do staff aug implementation. If you want to chat, hit me up at fishbowl447@gmail.com

@OP, I was part of the team until Dec 2017 until a reorg..I would say it’s one of the best team to join..I really enjoyed working with that group (unlike the other groups that I was part of)...The company is heavily investing to build a strong and market relevant front end consulting practice...

I agree with what P1 is suggesting...with a big 4 brand you should be able to do better with the the designation...
