Cognizant Recently cognizant have changed their internet wfh allowance policy.we use to get 1800 per month as internet allowance without submitting any bills or transaction details. Now they changed the policy as we need to apply for icici/axis/hdfc credit card from there we need to make the transaction and reimburse the same. I am ok with everything but why i need to apply for credit card? How a company can force me to have a credit card? It will directly/indirectly alter the credit score right? Cogniza

Best piece of advice I ever got, provided you know a pay range.
They rarely will offer you the top of the range, respond with, “thank you, that’s an exciting offer and I really do believe I could see company xxx being an amazing fit for me and my skill sets. While I appreciate the offer, could you provide me with the areas of deficits or concerns that dictate not being at the top end of the salary range?”
This does 1 of 2 things. Either puts it on them to figure out how to justify not paying you, often resulting in a higher offer, or 2 it provides you with a list of areas the company seems important that you should improve on.
This is really solid advice. I am definitely saving this response in a document on my computer. Thank you for sharing this.
You ask for more money
If you have information on higher salaries for the same position that would be useful to make your case.
I just emailed the recruiter who sent me the offer asking for more money/bigger bonus. They’ll probably ask you to give you a reason for asking a higher salary, so just say you’re a high performer or whatever. It’s better to overshoot in negotiations than undershoot
I’m speaking from personal experience negotiating at LM. Quite frankly, you just need to ask for a higher comp and have a professional answer to back it up, even if it’s fluff. Do you really think HR is going to look that deep into it? They already want to hire you
The only way is to be straight forward. You have to just ask, but be prepared to back up whatever number you throw out there.
Scientist 1's advice is truly the best and most logical. An honest company will always tell you what it is willing to pay you more for. Next year I'm graduating from college and I'm using resources like https://mysupergeek.com/ to improve my knowledge because I'm trying to be the first. I know that this will affect my career in the future. If I improve my skills, I will get a bigger offer, it's simple.
