Hi fishes,
I have been working with Cognizant for over 2 years now. The client that I’ve been working with recently asked me to apply for an internal position with them. I did so, however, now the client is saying that they are not planning to disclose this information to Cognizant and that I shouldn’t too.
I am sceptical about this situation. Can I be in trouble for joining the client’s company?

Tips for how to put together an online portfolio for a marketer? Is it needed?

Advice?

Hello! I've recently relocated to India from the US. I have an MPH with 4 years of mixed experience in healthcare consulting, USAID project management and pharma supply chain management.

I once had a job where I was ultimately made to be the scapegoat for the many problems at the company. It was an extremely difficult time and I had very little support. Plus it was during the pandemic. I spent the next couple of years looking for another full time position. Thankfully, I found one last month. Soon after I started, I realized I’m still troubled by that toxic experience. I’m now using my newly acquired EAP benefits to address it because I’m afraid of it happening again.

Has anyone in this group spent time at SAP, left to work for a big4 SAP practice or similar then boomeranged back to SAP? If so what was the experience like/when you came back to SAP was it for a significant pay/position increase?

My assistant of 2 years is making mistakes and I have no hiring/firing power (partner does). But having to babysit her and also the partner and spend time to clean up these mistakes while also getting my job done has become unsustainable. I can’t have a firm talk with her because it’s an empty firmness. If I mention it to the partner - he tells me to have a firm talk with her, he doesn’t want to be the bad guy and he doesn’t get how bad it has been for me.

Has this happened to anyone? Where you go through the interview process - and they call you back saying you did great in the interview and that you'd be a great fit but the role has been filled. So they are going to pass you to other hiring managers and see if you'd be a good fit in the other teams? I'm so confused.
