Cognizant Notice Period: Need hacks to cut it short!
Hey everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹ I joined Cognizant in July 2021 and I'm a billable resource. My notice period is showing as 90 days, BUT my offer letter doesn't mention any notice period at all ๐Ÿคจ Iโ€™m planning to resign soon and want to reduce the notice period to 60 days. Iโ€™m open to buyout or leave encashment. For those who've been through this: * Who should I approach first โ€” manager or HR? * What worked for you? * Any tricks to speed up the release? Really need some guidance from anyone whoโ€™s navigated this ๐Ÿ™
