It's all upto you buddy. If you feel this is right and you are happy, go for it. I don't think you should depend on someone's opinion to take an offer or not. Suno sabki, karo apni.

14is very high as per cts standard but u can take that risk as ur yoe is only 3 but make sure u r ready to prove yourself and be the hard and smart working guy in the room. If u think u can justify ur price tag (don't compare with others compare with your work only) then join any company without any fear

Mostly u will be fired seeing recession and cognizant situation

PWC terminated or CTS terminated?

Usually Cognizant is not known for job security. But if you don't have any other offer, join CTS with a free mind ,learn and switch at an appropriate opportunity.

Hello All Fishes,

Hope you all are doing well.

Recently got an offer from MUFG with a 38% hike for Analyst EDD Operations Role - CTC offered is 7.76 Lpa.
Having almost 5 yrs of previous experience in KYC/EDD/CDD/AML/TM in HSBC.
Is it a good offer based on my current experience and How is the WLB & culture at MUFG ?

How long is too long to wait for a raise? I've been waiting seven years and have had 2 title (and responsibility) promotions since the last raise. My manager says I deserve it and am long overdue. The CEO says we "can't afford it" and that "there are things that matter more than money." That's easy for someone not living paycheck to paycheck (during an inflation crisis) to say. I don't know what to do. How long is normal to wait? Especially with an employee's market like this?
