Can't decide if it's best to move to a less stressful job or not. Some days I love it, and am up for early promotion, other days I'm inconsolably sad and can't think of anything but applying elsewhere

Apply other places. Knowing you applied may help keep you from getting so sad. When they call you make the call about leaving or staying. Also look into different areas of your firm. It might just be the service line you are in.

Always keep your options open. If anything, applying different places will help you clarify your current set of expertise and maybe even direct the rest of your time in consulting

I spent a lot of time inconsolably sad and applied to some banks (also NYC based). Got some offers and with each one just couldn't see myself leaving for that - so I stayed. Good, reputable companies with salary increases and no travel. I still interview but after turning down the others I'm much happier

So applying to others places just to turn them down bc it makes you "feel better" to be wanted somewhere else makes sense? Why waste yours or their time? Maybe I'm missing something...just wondering.

Main point is to get a new position you actually want. Side benefit is learning more about what you actually want.

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺

Pls help🙏🏾

Hi Fishes

Joined My new company this Jan. My previous income was not eligible for tax slabs. Now while adding the income from Apr 21-Mar 2022 it's become 5.9 LPA. I don't have any investments and in my new company I declared the same. The only tax exemption I have is PF contribution and professional tax. I have only 25K PF contribution and 2.5K professional tax. So while calculating the tax I am getting 15K as tax payable. How can I avoid this 15k. Kindly pour your suggestions. TIA.
