Trending @Cognizant; Is Accenture better than Cognizant for stability

I am an Associate at Cognizant since last 1 year 11 months. I was working with Accenture before than and have an overall experience close to 6 years. I joined CTS as a java developer but recently my BU got changed to QEA.

I again got an offer from Accenture for Java Development Lead role but the hike is not much. It’s X+4 fixed and around 5 lakhs variable pay. I’ll be having an increment at CTS in next months about 1-1.5 lakhs and will also be eligible for SA promotions. Which will almost equalise the fixed ACN is providing. The addition benefit in ACN offer is variable part and career alignment.

I need your opinion on this.

Do not think that CTS is going to give you a SA promotion at this moment, there is no promotion lined up for you for the next 2 years.

I’m not sure but per the process informed by manager, I have to complete 2 years at Associate to get eligible for SA promotion

The word "Eligible" means a lot, Sir. Do not get fooled by it.

You better switch to another company which is offering you a salary hike of at least 30%.

Considering variables, they provided 50%

Certainly, if you possess a strong knowledge base and demonstrate exceptional work ethic, I would highly recommend considering Accenture as a potential employer.

I had previously worked for Accenture for around 4 years before coming to CTS

Considering the fact that you are yet to complete 4 years after joining as Associate.

I have wasted few years of my career at cts. Never stay in there. Switch to any other company. Go to Accenture, get the hike and switch again next year.

Eligible for SA doesn’t matter here. For my team mate he was eligible for SA on Jan 2023 but role changed by Dec 2023. I am eligible for M on June 2023 still they said it’s in queue. So word eligible is just to convince us but when it changes god only know
