Two days ago I was assigned into a project.
They will soon give me Citrix access.
I joined Cognizant in Jan and this is my first project.
Me and my wife are planning to go to Shimla - Manali in April.
Question: Is this a right time to ask for leave to the manager? Will it be considered bad to take leave at this point?
I am thinking as I have just started the project and i am asking for 5 day leave.

Please suggest me if I'm doing any wrong things at the time of the referral... And the job for which I am referring to anyone that is the latest only.Cognizant

Does CTS matches or raise the offer made by other organizations 2 days before joining date, I have got an offer over x+5 from another organization, but still interested in cts.
How do I proceed from here?

Guys after how many days project calls are received?

Hi Sharks,

I have completed all my pre-joining formalities & submitted all relevant documents. Once submitting the BGV got an auto mailer saying that it would take 14 days to complete the BGV. And the days are over now. Also, so far, I didn't receive any mails.

Do I need to wait or follow up with recruiter? Please advise?
