I’m thinking about leaving my corporate finance job for a startup. It’s risky, but exciting! Has anyone else made a similar switch? What were your biggest challenges and rewards?

I made the leap from corporate finance to a startup last year, and it’s been an exciting ride! The biggest challenge was the lack of structure—startups can be chaotic, and I had to wear many hats.

I made the move, but I’ll be honest—it’s not for everyone. Startups are exhilarating, but they can also be unstable and demanding. The biggest challenge for me was the unpredictability.

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?
