I do not. But I would say that, for free, you could start going through your network (or LinkedIn) and reach out to people who are doing things that interest you. Ask to grab a coffee. This may help shape your future ideas and/or lead to a new job opportunity! I do it all the time and people are always happy to talk about themselves and help!

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?
