Have an offer in industry (banking) but no signing bonus. What's a reasonable % of base to request without offending anyone? I don't want to lose the offer but I'm leaving 6 months of bonus on the table and assume my new bonuses will be prorated.

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.

Hi all, looking at exit paths, 3 years post MBA at MBB, would love some advice! Leaving aside company & comp, curious to get thoughts on roles & career paths.

What do you think of Operations (think run the core of the business) vs. Bizops?

I'm leaning Bizops since it's more similar to consulting and may be a smoother transition, but what's the career path there, if you already enter at a Director level? Would Operations position me better for future roles and complement my consulting exp?
