Hi All,
I have joined cognizant yesterday. I came to know that office location is bantala in Kolkata. I do not want to work in bantala location. I have talked with my recruiter. But hs said offer location is decided on project allocation. How can I change the location to other location? If I leave the job will it be any problem?

Considering what you mentioned about you being able to learn more and the increase in salary, leaving seems to be the better option. Unless the bonus is super huge, otherwise doesn't seem to be worth to stay
1. Ask for a sign on bonus equal to your bonus lost (or more). Or at least allows you to be better off or at least equal given the larger base at new firm. If unable to offer sign on bonus then try to negotiate a higher base. Ultimately it’s a dollars and budget game so you just need to understand what the levers are for negotiation. If you need more help with this feel free to message me or reply here
2. I really like that the company is honest with you about being 2nd choice and that they don’t play games. Seems like a culture that I would personally like
3. Seems like a good learning opportunity so yes
They have offered me the base salary I requested and there will be another increase after my probation which I am okay with. It just that my current company bonus in July will be a 3 months bonus which I feel is a sad thing to miss out on.
Pro
Negotiate for the 3-month bonus you’d lose. But if you’re their 2nd choice, they probably also have a 3rd choice so be flexible on how firm to stand in your negotiations.
