Tips on cutting soda out of your diet?
Hi, I had worked with cognizant for 8 years. At the beginning, i had worked under BPO for three years and then moved to IT and worked as a tester for the remaining years. However, the receiving letter had not been mentioned about the BPO experience. So could we ask Cognizant to provide two reliving letters of one related to the BPO?

This is so over stated.
Most people (90-95%) who make it to MBB can make manager no problem. The issue is most don’t want to - the hours are long, and the opportunities elsewhere could be better.
Very few people actually get counselled out. It’s rare, and usually not a surprise.
There are of course, always exceptions. You’ll find the vocal minority of exceptions will speak much louder on the internet.

BCG2, any idea what this percentage would be from A to C and then from PL to P? I know this would be rough guess but curious how it differs.
Yeah, as a senior associate looking at EM, I used to think “who would ever leave this job!”, but now I’m like, getting tired of the grind and other jobs are starting to look more appealing...it all seems so glittery until you realize what exactly goes on behind the glitter, and it’s much less glamorous than you’d think.

This. Yes. 100%. Cannot emphasize enough.
There are very very few people who want to make manager and don’t. The problem is, most people don’t want to make manager, that’s the role when wlb/pressure starts to scale quickly.
The vast majority of people make the voluntary choice vs. being told to leave.
Also like 80% chances of success is pretty high and the downside is having your name as an alumni then well you can go wherever you want can’t you?
Yeah just here confirming it's more rare than it's made out to be. I've been here 2.5 years and only knew 1 person that got hit with CTL
Thanks for the perspective!
I would say there is ~ 15% involuntary attrition up to manager (in a nominal year), and that is ~4 years. Compare that to a 25% total attrition per year...
I think CTLs are understated in most people's minds because most people who would or expect to get CTL don't tell anyone.
