Hi All,
I have joined cognizant yesterday. I came to know that office location is bantala in Kolkata. I do not want to work in bantala location. I have talked with my recruiter. But hs said offer location is decided on project allocation. How can I change the location to other location? If I leave the job will it be any problem?

I applied with EY for a Senior Manager role I had my first stage interview with a senior manager, which I thought went well as I got the partner interview 2 weeks later, and said I'll be contact within 10 day HR. This did not happen so I chased up. Today I received feedback from HR stating that the senior manager, who would have been my peer, said I didn't have enough experience. But the partner who I would have been working under did like me.
Is this normal with EY recruitment

1. Interview process: Very standard process, varies slightly depending on group but generally a phone screen, followed by behavioral with a Senior Director, followed by case (was take home not sure if it still is), followed by Managing Director behavioral.
2. WLB: YMMV, again depending on group. I’m in PEPI MAS and think it’s spectacular. I work about 35 hours a week on average, and when you aren’t billing, you aren’t expected to be at your computer. Best I’ve had out of the three firms I’ve worked at. I still billed enough to be above average utilization at my level. Our engagements are fixed fee or weekly burn, so you bill what’s budgeted, not what you worked. Occasionally you’ll take a bath on this, but generally find out projects to be very fairly budgeted. That said, culture /= WLB. Not that the culture is bad, it just doesn’t exist. We are a very collegial firm. Show up, do your work, go home. Not much outside of that, and I’m ok with it. I have my two or three work buddies that I chat with throughout the day to sh*t talk clients and coworkers, that’s good enough to keep me sane.
3. Comp: Top notch. At 80% util as a first year Manager, I’ll pull down over $300k this year TC. We are eat what you kill. The more you bill, the more you make. Your TC is a percentage of your collections.
I think it varies from group to group. It’s not heavily weighted, wouldn’t worry about it to much.
I think it’s good that we don’t heavily consider them. Unless they are technical in nature (SWE or true finance cases) I find consulting case studies tell you nothing actionable about the candidate. Just a stupid elitist thing MBB convinced themselves was valuable and the rest of consulting followed suit.
What are you currently experiencing? I came from big4 and it so much better at A&M.
That’s what I used to do and I don’t grind that hard on regular anymore
