Trending @Cognizant; Promotion to Associate

Hi All. I joined cognizant in August 25 2022. I got rating of 2 due to non billable project and promoted to PA. At December 2023 I got Project End Appraisal with rating 2 due to non billable. I got into project in January 2024. Will I get Promoted to Associate (7lpa) in QEA testing.

Even if you would have gotten 3 rating, still it is almost impossible to be promoted to associate. They have increased so many rules and even if you satisfy all except 1 , you wouldn't be promoted

for me, they considered if I'm attending to office 3 days per week which is expected in our project. This is one rule they considered not to approve my promotion even though I have 4 and 5 ratings last two terms and 7 years of experience in Cognizant and 7 years of being an Associate. I'm also sure that they have budget in our account too, yet promotion is not approved

The last two rating should be above 3. Only then you will be considered for promotion

I think the manager give rating again in the month of August. If it is 3 and above. Can it be a chance to get promotion to associate

Also depends on the budget in the horizontal/account, vacancies for that Designation also be counted sometimes
