Why? I assume they must be throwing money at you.

Why cognizant?

Use it to negotiate salary and if you are successful then use it as leverage to increase your current salary

Depends what practice - they certainly do staff aug if you’re a tech resource. If you are an actual consultant, they have a much smaller part of their firm that does this and actually competes with big4/Accenture. This group has little difference from big4 and I’ve lost several engagements to them (former Deloitte here) on true MC work. They make a ton of money through dev and offshore resources so most of the perspectives you read on here are part of that world.

Mind asking how it went? Interviewing with them in a few days…
