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

YOE : 7+
Current packege : 28LPA

Onsite opportunitiy is pure luck. No one can assure anything.

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 want to see your thoughts on which one I should pick.

Job A: Project Engineer. 135K/yr base. 10% signing bonus.

Job B: Senior Project Manager. Contract. $60/hr standard. $90/hr overtime.

Hey Fishes,

Joined LTI recently in P3 band. However not allocated any project. Got a call from the resource management team to relocate, which I rejected upfront as I was promised a role in the location I am posted. It has been over 2 weeks since I am in bench. What shall be the next steps, shall I wait for some days or start looking for other jobs as getting a project looks difficult as there are minimalist responses.

How do you get “peaceably” rolled off a project that’s going down in flames when you’re one of the workstream managers and considered a key person risk because you’re the only one that knows everything that’s going on?

(I know the answer is you don’t or you quit, but I’m still grasping at straws 😮‍💨)
