Don’t go in Cognizant and retain with hike it would be at least 15% if not more then too you will be 35 around and that is worth instead of just 3-4 lacs because your 30% tax will be there and variable will be deduct at least 20-30% then no job security for new joiners .

No projects, worst bench policy, worst hike

If you really want to switch at least for for 30-40% increase on your current fixed . Otherwise stay back and get an increase why do you want to lose out on wlb. You can always try to prepare for big product based orgs if you have good wlb

I’ve been with firms for 6 years. I struggle (not that I’m not intellectually capable of doing this job), I just hate the detail oriented nature of this industry. Everything gets scrutinized so carefully and most things I stayed up late for doesn’t matter.
