4 LPA at Cognizant. Prep for GATE 2027. Is a 2nd attempt worth it if I miss IIT?
Hey everyone,
I am currently working at Cognizant making 4 LPA .2025 Passout. I have a solid coding background but ended up in a service company due to bad luck during college placements. I want to break into a high-tier product company with a premium package, so I am preparing for GATE 2027 while working.
Initially, I thought about switching, but with the current market, a switch might only get me to 8–10 LPA, based on my previous salary , which isn't my target. I want a major upgrade.
My main question is: If I do not get into a top IIT in GATE 2027, is a 2nd attempt for GATE 2028 worth it?
