Hi Team
Need advice for the query: I recently joined Cognizant on 8th December 2025 with designation as Associate Project. Now, I got offer from Genpact with Genpact offering 4 LPA more than what cognizant is offering.

Suggestion needed: Shall I stay in cognizant or try switching to Genpact?
Goal: To work on Good Gen AI and Data Science projects. Which company will have better Gen AI and Data Science projects and whose experience shown on resume will be better for further switch?
Exp: 3.9 years

Hi All,
I am looking for java developer position in adm domain as getting released from my current project on 31st July.
If there is opening in any of the project, please let me know.

How do you get good at thinking on your feet? I find I always need time to think and analyse before being able to answer client queries (even those that are considered simple by others). I don't want to rush and get it wrong. I avoid phone calls for this reason which isn't great when you're in the service industry so it's starting to impact my career.

SM on my project stepped away on paternity leave. SM was the one who led partner discussions and most of the client meetings. We're a week from a client deadline.

As a manager, I'm stepping but incredibly stress with the amount of moving parts. I don't have a strong rapport with the partner (Neither did the SM) to be open and transparent on how stressful I'm feeling without downgrading myself.

I'm sick to the stomach and very anxious, stressed at the suddenness of the thrust.

Help!

Been 3 months since I joined Luxoft and I am assigned to a backward DXC project. The lead is oppressive and bossy. There is no work-life balance and 9:30 hours of work is not enough for them. My probation period is going to end soon. Should I inform my Luxoft manager and tell him to change my project right now ? Or shall I wait for him to end my probation period ?
