Your joining date is after 2 months and you are worrying about which one to join now? Within that 2 months you can try for others and get a higher package in some good prod companies then you can choose between them.

funny

Don't worry about it brother that is how corporate works, they don't blocklist you they'll simply mark it as did not join and there are N number of other companies and mostly we work for max to max 10 organisations in our entire career,

So for now you have 2 offers from service based companies, now only target for product based.

Heyyy go to accenture and get ur salary increased ask accenture 15lpa fixed atleast.

No blacklist option in CTS

My brother is working in Accenture and they are getting hikes every 1.5 years instead of every 1 year due to business slowdown. Not sure about Cognizant

If i join accenture and reject congnizant 1-2 days before... Will they blacklist me... Or they will hire me after 1-2 year.. same for if i join cognizent

Go to Cognizant. Both the companies will never pay you 100% of the variable pay. I hope you were selected for Associate Role and your variable pay is 45k. As variable pay is less, you will get more inhand salary and now Cognizant is performing good.

Don’t short sell yourself!

Works at qritrim

Let me know what you choose
Also in same situation but with Capgemini and cognizant for kolkata location

Hi, I had finished my technical and managerial round on May 25th and 26th with PWC. The manager did mention that there would be another in-person round in the PWC Bangalore office. Although the first 2 rounds went well, there has been no further response from HR. Is this a normal delay or should I think I didn't make it. Any thoughts?
