Cognizant offered me Manager - Projects at 9.5 yrs of total IT exp . Also, in offer letter takes 131 months of relevant exp,in actual i have less, only 8 yrs of relevant exp . I got interviewed for Technical position and this offer letter looks for managerial position.Seems something incorrect and fishy.

Please guide me whehter to take or not ?

Skills : ETL Developer

Package offered : Around 25 ,Pune

Cognizant calls the position as Manager-Projects. But the role might be technical too. I have seen many people working in technical roles with Manager-Projects as position title. It's just your band title. Does not reflect the role.

are they still like individual contributor or team team ?

Based on projects manager projects role is mostly 60% individual contributor and it can be technical role as well. In offer letter it is confusing though. Many people get confused u can change designation to senior software engineer b3 or technical architect after joining

I can work upto a lead level but beyond that I think I don't have the required skillset for an architect point of view that I why I am concerned. In the job opening,they had mentioned se associate (tech lead) ,not sure why they provided manager projects,they even counted more it exp than I actually have.

My current salary is under market average for my position but based off my coworkers’ negative experiences with asking for raises/promotions, I’m not really sure how to go about starting the conversation with my manager. There’s also a rumor going around that the company is going to scale back on our marketing efforts even though our VP tells us a different story. Either way I need more money and I just want to have that conversation before I begin looking for a new job.
