Don’t be afraid to ask - you don’t lose anything by asking. Especially if they’re a certain amount away from your ideal number!

Depends on level, size of company, location etc. usually not until director/vp and above level.

Not at director level, so probably doesn’t apply to me regardless. My research left me with more questions than answers so this is helpful context, thanks.

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?
