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?

• Growth wise ZS is way above Cognizant
In ZS you will have 35 CTC in next 5-6 years and if you grow well and things go well at more senior level ( you can touch 1 Cr CTC in next 12-15 years)

• Technology wise ZS is not that cool. Not sure what BTACs use bdw majorly ( as I am a BOAC)

• Work wise - Its majorly pharma client at ZS, which is one thing in case you like variety and different types of exposure

• Work hours /WLB will take a hit at ZS. Expect ~9.5 - 10 working hours on an average and ~11 at the start to quickly ramp up

• Pay for work is there at ZS and the journey is rewarding if you stay for a slightly longer period

Hey, Thanks for the valuable response. It will surely help in making my final decision.😊

Career growth and progression is good but again it's a subjective question. ZS pays reasonably good in comparison to peers.
WLB can be a concern but that depends on your current working hrs in Cognizant

My company is adopting Scrum and hiring a bunch of agile coaches to assist with sprints. We got assigned our agile coach that'll be starting soon.

I read a description of what this role is supposed to be for and it sounds like they'll be leading Scrum ceremonies. So they run the planning meeting, the retrospective and daily stand ups. Up to now, I've been doing those and it's taken a total of like 2 hours a week of my time.

What on earth do agile coaches do with the other 95% of their time?

I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up?

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.
