Hi Fishes,

Need some advice.

I am currently working in HCLTech (Noida, 26 LPA + 2L variable). I joined recently and have been on the bench for around 4 months.

Now I have got an offer from Tide (Hyderabad, 37 LPA fixed).

I am confused whether I should stay in HCL for some time or make a switch. I already have 2 very short job stints in past companies, so I have a slight doubt about switching again so soon.

Please suggest what I should do.

Go for it the amount is considerable and also with current time the short stints doesn’t matter as whole market is doing short switches just give valid reason for switch and you are good

Yoe? Tech stack? Could you please share the interview experience in short? How many rounds and what was asked in each round for Tide.
Thank you.

Yoe tech stack

8 years and GCP

Congratulations on offer.
If companies are offering you this much then you definitely know the job. I think you should definitely go.

Digressing a bit: Can you tell how did you justify your short stints in the interviews? Would be useful and motivating for many of us!

Got news that my house closing may have to be moved due to a delay in the sale of my home. My partner’s income was excluded in the DI ratio, but if it were included we’d be well under the % threshold and can be approved to close on time regardless of the sale of my house. However our mortgage company’s underwriting team has been painfully slow in confirming if her income qualifies. She’s been at her new job 1 month after a year off. Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?

Can someone help me understand how backdoor Roth works in my situation?

I contribute the $19.5K max to a 401K each year. Would backdoor Roth be (A) the ability to roll $6K of that $19.5K into a Roth? or (B) an incremental $6K that I could contribute to a separate IRA then backdoor into a Roth?

Asked another way, does backdoor Roth allow me to actually contribute $25.5K each year, or does it just allow $6K of my $19.5K contribution to build in a Roth?

Thanks!
