That’s my group. I don’t work crazy hours (less than 2300, close to 195/month), and I don’t get much/any pushback. The lawyers in this office are great personality wise and in terms of competence. The paralegals/lit support people are top notch too.

OP, I don’t know anyone who has wanted to make NEP but wasn’t able to make it. It seems to just be a normal graduation from midlevel. I’m still pretty junior tho so take that with a grain of salt

Avoid those MDLs lol

My father took a home loan, and the same home is kept as mortgage.
I'm paying arround 22k emi for the same but unable to exempt tax as the loan is on my father's name.

I googled a lot how to transfer it but neither gift deed nor sale deed would work as the property is on mortgage that's under bank's ownership (until loan is fulfilled).
Tax is also getting deducted, I'm paying hefty emis.
What can I do?
Please advise 🙂

I had a first interview last Tuesday with Amazon, which I think went well, although I still haven't heard back 6 days later and then got an OOO annual leave msg and a no response when I chased up the named colleague today. Is this typical behaviour others have experienced when dealing with the big tech company recruiters? I found Google and Facebook recruiters to be efficient and TikTok so-so, if not a little slow, but 6 days+ seems poor.
