Don't bother with Thesis. They lost a huge account in the last two months of 2022 due to an error in an RFP and laid off a bunch of their creative staff without warning as a result.

Oof. Thanks for the info.

It really depends on where you're at in your life. W+K will offer the most comprehensive and complete total compensation package. Goos Luck! :)

Obviously, a job there would be awesome. I’m going to try to connect with a few people I know there or who recently left.

Hello my sharks 🦈 from IBM 😇
I have a query with regards to HRA deduction that we can claim as non taxable.

So in my offer letter, it is written that max 50% of basic salary can be used for house rent.

My basic salary is 7,00,000. So how much deduction can I show for HRA, considering the The Income Tax Act Section 10-13A?

I want to reduce the tax as much as possible through HRA, but I believe there is a limit upto which deductions will be considered.

Thanks in advance guys🙂
