I know there has been some talk about Cognizant offers lately, but I was just reached out to and wanted some perspective on potential salary. I have 3yoe in Digital Financial Services, I work out of NYC, but the job is listed as remote with travel. I don’t have an MBA. Can anyone with a similar background shed some light on what the pay band could be? Tyia

What level is the role going to be? I have heard SC can go up to 135K with signing

Senior consultant. The recruiter asked me my range I said 130-140 base and they accepted, saying it was the high end, but who knows

I would never leave a Big4 for Cognizant Consulting. I came to Deloitte from Cognizant but wouldn’t recommend going other way.

1. There won’t be any transparency in your YE and promotion decisions.
2. Very limited learning and certification drives compared to B4.
3. The project placement isn’t as straight as B4. You may be chased to get into an enhancement.
4. You can’t choose your reporting manager (similar to a coach) and you will be assigned. There can be bossing.
5. Will definitely not recommend if you are in a work visa. It’s a nightmare
