your title is “Investment Banking Analyst” and you want to go work for Cognizant?

ummm my advise is never quit until you have the new offer signed and sealed. Otherwise, take care of yourself, pick yourself up, sharpen your resume, and start applying. There’s not really much to say other than learn from this experience

If you want to get into growth equity or VC, going to Cognizant won’t help. Better off staying in IB and shifting straight from there

Cognizant is going to hurt you trying to get in to VC. You’re better off staying where you’re at, or if you’re itchy to move then go to PEPI/PEG consulting groups

PEPI/PEG?

The thing is I have only 1 YOE when most firms are looking for at least 2 YOE and recently quit my current firm bc I had an offer from HL but they rescinded it so I’m a bit in limbo…

If you want your career to fall of a cliffs edge and to never return choose cognisant/WITCH

Stay where you are or find a better option please!

Senior Consultant 1 is right. Cognizant is one the worst. You need to be very lucky to end up in a good and progressive team and grow. I’m a SD in Cognizant.

my advise is avoiding cognizant if you can by all means. this is not a company where you can grow. people are seen and treated dispensable in cognizant.

Anybody else noticed recruiters are only proactively reaching out about hybrid/on-site roles nowadays?

It's almost as if people don't want to be in offices anymore so that's why it's difficult for them to fill those roles.
Sidenote: recruiters, you can see on my LI profile that I'm remote. In the "What jobs are you interested in" field you can see I'm only interested in remote roles.
So, why are you reaching out to me about jobs in a city 3 hours away that's 100% onsite and w/out even a ReLo?
