Hey fishes, 2024 YEA rating was 2, 2025 YEA rating is 3, and I’ve completed 3y 5m in my current designation PA.
And since December 2025 I’ve been WFM and my work model assigned is 0-1d.

I’m planning to put down my papers but I have a feeling to wait till April 15th 2026 because I might get promoted to A in April 2026 and I’ll be finishing my masters(I’m doing my masters online and it’s not Cognizant higher education program)

Can you all advise?
TBH money is the only motivation for me.

You have to be consistently a minimum 3 rating guy to be promoted to A. So put down your papers now, you'll get the incentive in March...and then go for better option.

I understand. But since it's quarterly, the RTO calculation will happen before 15 May. And then they prepare themselves for the next quarter budget list and all.
