Has anyone ever actually been contacted after joining a company’s “talent network” or is it a waste of time? I’m currently employed but looking for my next move. (Mostly looking for in-house opps at the moment, if that makes a difference.)

It's worth a shot I think, especially if you are looking to go in house. Anything that saves recruiters time will be used. If nothing else it should get you notified of new openings that much more quickly than the ppl who don't sign up and register. Being "in the system" is always a bit better than being out of it.

I want to say I have twice but can’t recall the first time. Second time it led to an interview but no offer. It wasn’t in-house though. As long as it’s not making a cover letter, do it.

Well, I’m a CW, so cover letters sorta come with the territory. I spent some time up front putting a template together, so it’s not that hard to tweak for each individual company at this point.

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.

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??

Do any of these names ring a bell to you, and which ones would be the coolest for a signed helmet/jersey?
