Need your advice!

I have 7 years of experience as a Java Full Stack Developer and have resigned from
Cognizant (CTC: ₹24 LPA).

Current options:

LTM – ₹34 LPA

TCS – ₹36 LPA

Cognizant retention with a 20–25% hike + approved L1-B visa (no confirmed travel date).

Which option would you choose for better long-term career growth, and why?

Sorry i cant say that

No issue, does Cognizant really provide visa ? What about Canada visa

Just don't look at the ctc alone, check the split up and select the offer which has the highest fixed pay. With the current environment most of the companies don't give 100% variable pay.

TCS on paper salary looks really high but in hand is less. So avoid it.
Don't go for US visa option, its trap.

LTM

How much notice period left?

A month

Bro what’s your id on Cognizant, have some doubts

If you have US aspirations, you can take a chance and get retained. 20 25% retention hike is also good but I doubt that they will give more than 15% to 18%.
