Buy now or continue Renting?

Currently paying $2.7k for a condo in West Village. If you were in my situation and cashflow isn’t an issue, would you buy or rent for another year?

Rates are just going to go up, don’t expect them to come down anytime soon. It’s a buyers market, so your negotiating power is strong now.

I received an email today from recruiter asking for a phone interview which I’m so happy to hear from but I applied about a month ago. I moved on and applied internally for a different role as a transfer. This new role is a promotion and my start date is next week. I immediately responded back to the recruiter and agreed to the phone interview for tomorrow 5/4…. Do I mention any of the above to them? Do I tell them I just accepted a new role and different position? Please advise

Hi Folks,
I am having my joining in cts tomorrow but joined UST global 3 days back. Now getting onboarding mails from cts and links to submit relieving letter from previous employer and all. Eventhough I have sent rejection mail to the HR yesterday night that I won't be joining Them they are still sending me welcome and onboarding mails. My friend is saying don't pick any of their calls.
What could be the consequences ? Will they black list me for future opportunities ? Please suggest..

2.5 YOE, 6.2 LPA Mainframe, recently got an offer from TCS for Mainframe Developer position with 7.5Lpa. My project Director called me and willing to match the salary here in Cognizant. He said i will be eligible for yearly hike as well.

Please suggest if truly I will be eligible for yearly hike after being retained and is it good to stay overall.

P.S - TCS gave 7.5 on top of 5.1 LPA, 6.2 is what i got recently in April promotion for Associate.
