How's the Quality Engineering practice at Cognizant? Recruiter reached out for a fully remote QA lead role. Also, currently in Career Level 8 at Accenture. What would be an equivalent level at Cognizant? Thanks!

Don't do it. Cognizant is going down pretty rapidly with a lot of people exiting at all including senior levels.

That said, if you are joining from Accenture, they will be willing to pay a huge premium. Tell them the base you want is the base you are making and you are good to go. Make sure total comp is correspondingly higher.

But again, don't go there.

MD1 knows what he’s talking about. Do some searches on recent events/changes over there. They’re in a flux. However, even in the best of times I’ve never known anyone the enjoyed it there.

If they’ll pay you a little premium and you can stomach it for a while it may be worth it. Just be ready for a pretty contentious environment.
