What is the special allowance part in the CTC breakdown of Cognizant? It is nearly same as my Basic Pay, Just wanted to confirm if that amount is the same for other people also? And what is use of it, Like it is like every month we are getting the component with our salary? There is nothing specifically mentioned in the offer letter that's why asking.Cognizant

I am applying to more positions through staffing agencies as one way to get a writing job. When they tell me the hourly rate and I suggest a few dollars higher per hour, they'll say, "Just so you know, the competition is priced lower than you."

Is this to scare me into submission to charge less so that they can profit more? Or is an employer really not going to pick me because I am priced 1-$2 more per hour than someone else? Wdyt?

Hi all,

What all is asked in data science interview?

A friend is home from the last 2 weeks! We (Me and wifey) invited him to come and work from our home since he is alone (His wife is back in India). Now he isn’t leaving and I am not sure how to ask him to leave. We have been nice so far and he has mistaken that for - us really liking that he is here and doesn’t want to leave. Not comfortable enough to ask him to leave directly. Please help with this awkward situation. Any reasons I can give so he himself makes a decision to leave?
