Hi all,

Currently im holding 2 offers Cognizant and Accenture.
Overall experience - 2.5 years.

Cognizant offered 10LPA included 20k variable pay.
Accenture offered 9.8LPA included 1,70,000 variable pay.

Im bit worried to choose which offer.
Compensation wise both are similar and im okay with that. But my worry is all about the work culture and lay off's. Hearing lot of buzz in internet about layoffs in these company's but not sure.

Could you please give your suggestions and views on this?

Compensation doesn't look similar at all. Don't expect any more than 30-40% of the total variable pay.
You can go for accenture if you have some sort of hot skill. Then they will pay additional 18%.

If not, I'll say go with CTS and switch after two years. Job security is good in both but end of the day both are service based and you'll be severely underpaid if you stay for longer period.

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
