Cognizant burnt its fingers by firing employees during Covid phase 1. So I don't think they will repeat it, but if the recession is unexpectedly worse then we cannot say .. they may be compelled to lay off employees.

For my project we are not seeing this. I am working for US banking client and everything is fine here. Still we need resources for our project. It depends on project to project and business vertical.

No

I have seen people getting fired if there is no dependency on them and if the pay s higher... So even if you go see that you perform good :)

Hello recruiters, happy Monday!

I want to know why recruiters ask me in an interview if I am looking at other opportunities, or if I am interviewing at other companies. If I say yes they will ask at what stage I am.

I just want to know the reason behind it and if there is a right answer to this question!

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…
