Can anyone give an opinion about joining Cognizant Bangalore now ? I have 1.8 YoE and they are offering a pretty good hike but I have heard news like there's managerial changes happening rn and many people are leaving the firm. Your opiniors will greatly help me in making a career decision.

I moved here for the job before getting assigned a fully remote project. My project is set to go for 2 years. I havent made many friends so far and not tied to a lease. My expenses come up to another 1.5k and Ive been spending around 0.5-1k on travel for home, or relocating expense. Im aiming to save 20% to put towards my emergency fund. It's exhausting that everything is so far in LA. I live in manahattan beach, and moving from one hot spot to the other could take up to an hour. I end up not going out much and it's impacting my mental health.
Yes, as long as your project and company allow it., so ask HR and your project lead to see what’s their policies are.
At my company they’re being pretty serious about working remotely from a different location than your base this past year, they say it has something to do with tax.
I’m in a similar spot, fully remote making 90, rent is 1.8 living in Chicago. Also basically breaking even.
Manhattan beach is awesome and I love visiting there (best friend lives in Hermosa) but for a young person trying to meet people it’s honestly not it. It’s so expensive that there just aren’t really that many young people and it’s not that big of a place. Definitely seems hard to meet people there.
That being said, I would 100% stay struggling in Chicago because I know I raise/promo/bonus is coming. For me moving to a lcol city is not worth what I’d save right now, I’d way rather live in a chaotic, packed, expensive city where I have a ton of fun all the time. Definitely depends on where your priorities are. If saving was my top priority at this point in time, I’d have no problem packing up and moving somewhere else.
Yeah I am going to move. I am not having a blast here at all.
