1/2 of one, but they gotta be hiring. If they’re not hiring then intern somewhere where they will appreciate your “mad skills"

One place. Extended for a second 9 week session and then hired after that.

One internship the summer after junior year, one after senior year. Moved cities, job hunted for 6 months, got a junior role at a social shop

Do you guys like where you ended up? No regrets about settling or anything ?

I didn’t like the shop where I ended up, so I moved to another.

Three internships around the world through MAS, hired by a fourth shop.

twice

Once

One time for 9 months.

Twice. Didn’t like the first place I interned. Hired after 4 months at the second

One place, 8 months

0. Got a random mostly non-related writing job after college and about a year later was hired at an agency as a mid-level copywriter

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?

Please help. I’ve moved up the ranks pretty quickly at the company I work for to become a Principal SE.

I’m torn because I do love being an IC but I’m interested in leadership also. What do I do?

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.
