The outrage has raised concerns about the state of entry-level salaries in the IT sector and the direction of the industry.
Cognizant, a leading IT company, has offered a job to freshers with a salary of ₹2.52 lakh per year. This has caused a lot of anger and memes on social media, with many people saying it’s not enough to cover basic living expenses. The typical salary for engineering graduates in the IT sector is around ₹3.5 lakh to ₹4 lakh per year, making Cognizant’s offer seem very low.
Many people are questioning the direction of the IT industry and the state of entry-level salaries. With cost pressures mounting, companies are scaling back on salaries, leaving fresh graduates with offers that many see as insufficient. Wipro, another IT company, has introduced a program with a stipend that increases over four years, but with a penalty clause if trainees leave before completing their training.
🚨 Cognizant has announced an exciting off-campus mass hiring drive, welcoming applications from candidates belonging to the 2024 batch.
