I joined Cognizant as PAT in 2018 then after a year, I completed my assesment and got promoted to P(since I have 3 years degree). I requested manager and team lead for PA promotion but it did not workout.It has been a difficult path. I got very low rating as low as 2(1 is lowest). I didn't know the reason. If I ask my Home manager he told me that he gave a good rating but the higher authority changed my rating, same thing happened twice.In 2022 March I got promoted to PA. The tougher part was that I was in a 24*7 project doing 3 shifts no default off on sat/sunday and festivals without any allowance for working on weekends.
After 3 years you can be promoted to A but in my case, although I have 4.2years of experience I don't think I'll be promoted to A even if I stay here another year.
The good part is I'm serving notice period.

Looking for input on changing positions from a Buyer to an International Logistics Coordinator. I have international freight experience and have a potential opportunity.

I started my first in-house role about 4 months ago and I don’t think it’s the right fit. I love the no billable hours aspect, but otherwise I miss the structure of being at a firm. How long do you think I should try to stick this out before I move on? I want to give the job a real shot - and i know the transition to in-house can be jarring…but I also don’t want to spend too much time in a job that is a wrong fit.

Got a healthcare hedge fund analyst offer with 150K base and up to 250K bonus. With comp increase potential but no clear path to be promoted to portfolio manager given the fund size.

The hiring manager tried to convince me with “long-term upside” but of course cannot commit to anything given the fund is new. Thinking I should turn it down but wonder how others think
