Is it worth joining Cognizant in these times? Offering me a very good CTC with a high fixed component ( 30L+)joining for a project directly so no bench. I have heard about how they fired people left , right and centre last year. Just worried about the job stability/security. Any thoughts?

Lots of leadership have moved out and are moving.. for lateral hires, they will expect you to do a work like their leader did and also lead a team and expand businesses.
One side of it will be good for individuals growth.. but if you failed yo meet expectations.. then god knows ....

Got a temp offer for less than a year without promise of turning into full-time. Wanted to know what ppl think about temp jobs (looks bad on resume if I don't turn full-time later within the company?) and what comp should look like (e.g. 1.2× of regular comp?).

Got another perm offer in a different industry for similar salary, but I might have to relocate and I'm concerned the work may involve translation instead of pure legal work.

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?
