From where? There are lots of smart people at cognizant, and they do some great work , but as a global outsourcer it tends to be seen as a step down from one of the more US-centric firms.

Why exactly? Thanks!

Which practice are you joining? I would consider connecting with some SC’s in your prospective practice to get a feel for the climate.

Anyone sourcing or recruiting engineers?
I started with a company recruiting logistics professionals... They've doubled my work load and transitioned me into recruiting electrical engineers with security clearances ( so much more strict criteria), but my pay is the same.

I am getting ready to ask for a raise, but curious what you think I should be making?
I work completely remote and have surpassed all my quarterly goals this year.

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.
