At this point in your career, you should be looking way beyond salary. What are you hoping to achieve by moving to Cognizant? Are you only enticed by the money? The culture? The work? The travel?

Like how?

Absolutely not. Think YOY growth. You will outpace your salary in cognizant in 2 years.

I think that’s a bit of a stretch. Unless OP gets promoted he won’t make that much in 2 years

That’s said, OP needs to also consider how his exit options will look like with Cognizant on it. I don’t think it’s worth downgrading

What is the bonus potential at both? Need to compare all in comp.

0.0 at Cogs.

Take it . Lots if money.

I’d take the salary.

Ask for 50% increase

Are you at $161k base or base+bonus. D's bonus is way more than the 🥜 that C will offer. If it's TC to TC comparison, it's a good jump, but I'd ask for a bit more.

Wouldn’t go there

Big No!

Which group or role is this?

Transformation Management

Cognizant is giving out more lucrative packages right now to folks who they are expecting will deliver. If you miss their mark expect to be on a list of cost cutting lay offs the do few times a year. There is no company culture, the new CEO is looking for immediate results.

OP or anyone at Cognizant how would you describe the overall SM interview experience. What are the case study types asked, if any?

No case study. Mostly experience questions with discussion around past project roles and hypothetical future focused project questions.

Go for it, use it as a pit stop for something better.

Also, PWC claims to offer variable based on their fixed CTC based on the ratings.. is this true ? How much is the avg percentage given?

Thanks in advance!

Is this okay?
