Trending @Cognizant; Salary revision in CTS is possible?
I was promoted to SA in Feb 2025 ,before that my package was 9.5L,post promotion it become 11L,but still it is very low to this role ,so in July I sent an email to DL mentioning that my compensation is really low ,also mentioned I was top rated in last few years,after a month no reply was there to that email so I send a follow up email ,he replied like “wait for some more time,it is already taken up and we will follow up when cycle opens up” should i trust them and wait or look outside? Please suggest.
Never trust them, prepare yourself and shift to other organisations then they will give a counter offer of 20% which will be peanut. I believe you are having at least 5 years so I suggest going for at least 20 LPA in a fixed component
Move out i have in their trap, SA promoted 2022 and 5, 4, 3 rating just fooled me till now quarter after quarter as IJM 6 quarter passed no hike or salary growth nor promotion. Outsider are paid wealthy while internal folks are being shrinked. I got a new opportunity and finally leaving this company.
Trust me ratings are just bullshit, coming from a Manager. People criticize the manager when their aspirations are not being met. But they just don't know that even they are stuck and forced to act infront of their team. I hated myself for the past 3 years and finally got out.
Staying 8 years in the same company is a big mistake. I did the same, please start planning for a switch or else you are going to get stuck for a long while as your experience keeps on increasing but your relevance to roles outside will start shrinking.
I completely agree it should be 8*3 24 lpa it's average or good pay even I got promotion stay for 3 months and then switch bro otherwise it's a big loss for you
Look for other opportunities. If they wanted you around, it'd have been done by now.
Bro try to shift thise company won't give just move out you will get better
