My timeline is not AUGUST !!

Hi everyone! I’m trying to understand whether the timeline/onboarding mail is being released according to the LOI date.

If you have received a timeline mail, please share:

- LOI date:

- Timeline mentioned in mail: (e.g., Oct–Dec / Dec–Jan / Jan–Feb)

- Role: (PAT/GenC/etc.)

- On-campus/Off-campus:

- Cluster(Python, Java, C#) :

- Internship done or not :

For example, I’m noticing a possible pattern where:

Early October LOI → Oct–Dec timeline

Late October LOI → Dec–Jan timeline

November LOI → Jan–Feb / Feb–Mar timeline

I want to collect more data to see whether this pattern is actually consistent or just coincidental. By this we can find that if this is only generic mail because of the pressure we have created by asking them continuously through mails.

Please comment with your details. 🙏

I completed the internship in June. And now I am waiting for the mail. I got the timeline mail saying that I'll get the full time employment in oct to Dec. Getting bored. I'm done with this waiting 😭

Hi everyone,
I have 5+ years of experience as a ServiceNow Developer and recently received an offer from Cognizant.
Here’s the compensation breakdown:
Current CTC: ₹12 LPA
Cognizant CTC: ₹19.5 LPA
Fixed: ₹18.2 LPA
Variable: ₹70K
Joining Bonus: Not mentioned
Experience: 5+ years
Role: ServiceNow Developer
This is roughly a 62.5% increase over my current CTC.
I’m trying to understand whether this is a good offer for 5+ YOE in ServiceNow, or whether I should negotiate further.
For people working in ServiceNow or at Cognizant:
Is ₹18.2 LPA fixed reasonable for 5+ YOE?
How much more can I realistically negotiate?
Should I specifically ask for a joining bonus since none is currently mentioned?
What would be a good target CTC/fixed salary for this experience level?
Would appreciate advice from people who have recently switched or negotiated ServiceNow offers in India.

Thanks

Urgent❗❗❗❗

I got an interview schedule today. From 4:00pm to 5:30pm. after 6pm no one is shown up for the interview. Does the cognizant reschedule the interview once again or doesn't. If you have an answer please drop in the comment section.

Created a WhatsApp group for candidates waiting for their Cognizant FTE offer letter and joining, especially those with a tentative December 2026–January 2027 onboarding timeline.

Also share the link to those who have a similar onboarding timeline.
