Cognizant Recently cognizant have changed their internet wfh allowance policy.we use to get 1800 per month as internet allowance without submitting any bills or transaction details. Now they changed the policy as we need to apply for icici/axis/hdfc credit card from there we need to make the transaction and reimburse the same. I am ok with everything but why i need to apply for credit card? How a company can force me to have a credit card? It will directly/indirectly alter the credit score right? Cogniza

Look at Levels.fyi. Depending where you are based will determine pay. I would shoot for TC of 140k 120k base 50k equity and 35k sign on.
Talk to the recruiter. Tell them your Top line TC was 140k. Talk to the. About your skills and the value you believe you can bring. Ask them if there is any room for negotiation. Propose 118k base 50k equity and 45k sign on year 1 30k year 2 15k. Cave on either equity or sign on to hit the 140k tc
Start at as high of a level as possible. Lower levels pay less and the work you will do will be the same. If you start at L4 you will have to prove you are ready for L5 in the future which means taking on more challenging projects
I would just ask what level this position is for. After you finish interviewing, they will let you know how you did and your offer will be based on interview feedback. I interviewed for an L6 role but ended up at L5 based on my experience and interview performance.
Thank you! What about L4?
I’ve been in conversations and they say that is also negotiable, since my YOE makes me on the cusp of L5 but very senior for an L4.
What are the pros/cons of starting at one or the other?
Thanks so much for your help.
How would you advise I request they amend the contract regarding the potential repayment requirement of sign on and or relocation dollars?
