Hi Guys ,

I'm currently working at UPS and have received an offer from Cognizant as Sr.Associate. I'm considering this job switch to pursue an onsite opportunity. Is it possible to get an onsite opportunity at Cognizant? I don’t have any pressure in my current project.

Please share your feedback thank you

Difficult to get onsite these days. Lot of politics and a huge pipeline of people waiting their turn. If you are fine waiting for 2-3 years, then you can think of onsite while coming to CTS.

Also at SA level, you will not be eligible for a US H1B visa. So that is an added issue.

Correcting myself, yes SAs are allowed for H1B, associates aren't. But getting even nominated for H1B, then getting picked up for the lottery, then finding a project and sponsor to travel. It could be 6 months for someone, 6 years for someone else.

At the end of the day, onsite is pure luck. So don't join Cognizant if you are only looking for a quick onsite hope. With Trump in power, US visas will get even more difficult to get.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months.

Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs.

Do you feel that in SEO there are too many ways of conducting the same tasks. I have had a string of managers within the past year, it’s starting to get very annoying as each person says method A is wrong and B is right, another manager would have the complete opposite view. Have you had similar experiences when this practice and adjustment begins to interfere with client deliverables.
