Trending @Cognizant; I'm currently an associate with 6.5LPA after one year how much I can expect in hand salary?

Since you didn't mention in which scenario you are asking the in hand salary. I'm assuming you mean "how much would i get at around 3 years of experience if i switch the company". You should be able to get 15lpa+

No PAT(1yr)--- PA(1yr)--- currently associate (almost 1yr)

It depends on your YEA and BU..if u get first rating, you can expect max 10% hike.

Do you have total experience of one year ?

How many years of experience and skill??

Between 45k - 49k
