So if someone says big 4 is not recession proof what is your next step? Will you leave big 4 and join TCS?

I would say - big 4 employees might have a better shield than some of the others in market but that doesn't guarantee anything.

I'd imagine people in compliance would be generally safe but can't say the same about everyone else

PWC folks - what's your work model right now? Is it purely office based, work from home or an hybrid model

Yes you are safe, nothing can ever happen to your job regardless of what's happening out there. Do tie your seatbelt for the bumpy ride though

My team is short of 30 people and talent team is struggling to get resources

Which tech bro?

Just over 6 years in B4 financial services tax in PNW area. Mostly doing compliance work pumping out K1s and returns. Just got an industry offer at 155k 15% bonus and 100k equity (4year vesting). Fully remote position with occasional travel. Should I accept? I know it's a long shot but deep down I always had an ambition to pursue PA to see if I can make a partner. Please share your experience.

Will there be any layoffs in GDS?

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago. I thought I worked out a plan to get to a stable place but my job is proving to be unstable yet again. I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.

Hi Fishes,
Need help with a tax query.

I am earning 85k/month now. Thinking to purchase a land of around 15L, not just for investment but to build our own house on it in future.

Though I can somehow manage it without taking a land loan. But I was wondering if I can take some to avail tax benefits.

So my doubts are - Can I avail tax benefits (like home loan) before construction? If I take the loan just to enjoy tax benefits then how much loan should I take at most? Have only ~68k EPF in 80C
