Hi all,
How is KPMG India ? Someone reached out for strategy team at Customer & Operations for financial services practice.
I was told they specifically cater to Indian clients.
Please guide me with the following -
What is the traveling expectation, how are the hours, do we need to work on weekends?
How much salary and designation I can expect.
Current Ctc 30L, Infosys consulting, senior consultant. Expecting 10% hike in August/September.
Thanks in advance.
EY Deloitte PwC people - would you leave your current employer for a 15%-25% total comp difference? This translates to a 25-45k difference per annum, largely driven by bonus at the new firm (20-40%), much smaller than my current employer. Doesn’t feel like a great exit opportunity - currently at big 4 this would be moving to a niche consulting company

Quick qstn - I'm receiving HRA of 24075 from my employer but I would like dhow the rent paid as 96k p.a (while filing ITR). Even if I do so, I was only able to get exemption of 24075 from gross. Checking if we can speak to payroll department to increase Actual HRA since I'm actually paying more rent than compared. Will I be able to do so ?Deloitte Newco EY Accenture Genpact KPMG

Don't do it. If you can't even talk about hard stuff, you shouldn't be living together regardless of whether or not she can afford it. Really sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I'm speaking from experience--learn from my mistakes, OP!
^Agreed. If she can't handle talking about money, you aren't ready to move in together.
^ uhhh you should definitely live with your spouse before you marry them... your whole dynamic will change and you need to make sure it's a good/progressive change.
Financial disagreements are the leading cause of divorce. Talk to her now and if your relationship can't handle it then its better to know now.
She sounds awesome. Let her move in!
Is she Russian? If so, there's nothing to discuss. You pay for all.
if she can't afford to live on her own, then she should get a roommate - not a boyfriend/girlfriend.
@op don't move in together until marriage. You'll both be happier if you wait and if she's not the one then it's waaaaay easier to move on. If your sure she's the one but don't want to get married because *marriage gross* then at least plan on sharing your finances with her. If she makes less than you then it doesn't matter you both make financial decisions together when you are living together.
Having done this before with an ex bf who was a cook and made $13/hr to my $100K+ it gets tricky. You have to be able to compromise some. I made the mistake of not splitting rent down the middle because I didn't want to live in a shit hole, I won't be doing that again.
"sensitive about money and gets offended easily" sounds like a great method of emotional blackmail. Also sounds like her money is hers, and your income is (plural) yours. If she does not want to offer any thoughts or suggestions, it is up to you to do all the talking. So: "this is how much our joint expenses will be, can you chip in $xx?" Agree totally with SP1 and Grey1, marriage is very much a financial partnership.
Seriously, go see a fucking therapist.
How do you know she doesn't have the money? She must have at least told you how much she makes then. She just might be unaware of how much things cost. Make it really clear that you're dividing the costs evenly and tell her the cost of living per month. She's a grown ass woman, if that price tag is too high she will say something.
Agree with others. If you aren't in agreement on finances, this is a disaster waiting to happen. It won't get better without talking. And you don't want to be married in 5 years and in debt up to your eyeballs because she doesn't live within her means.
Moving in together is not the next step in a relationship. It's purely a means of moving a tv show along without messing with the "will they / won't they". Our culture has internalized this and made it reality, but it is always a terrible idea. If you can't live apart, get married. If you're not ready to get married then you can live apart.
The personal drama posts we get are the best!
Isn't dual income even easier than living on her own & paying rent? She should have been able to live on her salary regardless, even before moving in with you...or was she living with parents?
