You already have the vc offer?? If so absolutely. Don't hesitate for a second. You can always come back.

With a no-brainer like this, if you’re asking for validation here, I recommend you continue to be a BA! You don’t have confidence to be an entrepreneur and will probably fail!

He's saying the company has a VC offer

Thanks for the input M1, I'll keep you posted on that ;) To clarify above, I have the offer

Seriously OP do it. You don't want to look back and say you didn't at least try. Consulting will always be there.

A lot of startups fail to get VC funding to begin with

You have to do it. You can always come back to consulting. If you were able to get a Vc offer then your idea must have some chance of success. Even if it fails as a founder you are taking very little risk. If you do fail you can loop back to consulting with out much of an issue, you will have a much better story, and a better understanding of business.

Hi Folks,

Is it possible to reduce your notice period in Cognizant.
My notice period in Cognizant is 90days and joining date for new company is 1 month prior to my notice period.
Is there any option to reduce my notice period?
Or it is possible to ask my new employer to extend my joining date for another 1month.
