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.

I would never recommend joining Cognizant unless I didn’t like you

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.

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?
