My Date Of Joining(DOJ) with Cognizant is scheduled for 6th April 2026, but my Background verification (BGV) is still pending. When I checked with the HR (recruiter), they advised me to wait as they are collaborating with the BGV team to resolve the issue. They have informed me that the DOJ will be rescheduled to 9th April 2026. I have also submitted a ticket in the Cognizant portal to request the modification of my DOJ to 9th April 2026. Has anyone encountered a similar issue joining Cognizant.

Just got staffed on a project in London. Any major differences from American business fashion I should be aware of?

I've been thinking about my career a lot lately. I feel like I've hit a wall, and I don't know how to get past it.

I've been at this job for almost 5 years now, and ever since the day I started, there have been problems with my coworkers. It's not just one person—it's everyone in my department, and they all seem to be working against each other instead of together. Should I leave?

Why is gentrification portrayed as bad?

How do you deal with the following - 1) lack of general organization in life, note taking, keeping track of your relationships and 2) attention to detail. These 2 things have been bothering me a lot. We all are smart as hell but silly mistakes such as spelling mistakes, broader checks to be done on the deck is killing me. Also I feel the lack of organization in personal life blows into professional as well. If you are a consultant how do u deal with it ?

Any recommendations for vegetarian and vegan friendly restaurants to have a nice evening? Thanks 😊
