I have some doubt regarding pf contribution... Say for example.. 12% of my base salary is 600 which gets deducted from my salary.. on the flip side.. the company has to contribute 600 to my pf (which is actually deducted from my salary only like already part of CTC)?. So my question again is that.. the company contributes 600 as well? PwC
Hi,
I had received a shortlisting call from Axis Bank. The HR told me link will be shared where I need to update my documents.
I didn't receive any link and HR confirmed that there is some system issue hence link has not come.
Now, it has been 4-5 days, HR is not receiving my calls.
Is someone aware about such issue with Axis Bank HR portal? Axis Bank Ltd

Say you have, who cares.
Might be a very unpopular opinion, but firms lie all the time. Almost all of them claim that they are good places to work with good WLB…
Oh yes, I don’t believe that at all. I am just suggesting that firms are blatantly lying.

Agree with A1.

I would lie because if you tell the truth the recruiter may be obliged to share this with the firm out of transparency/”ethics”. Same as if you have been laid off.
If you ain’t lyin’, you ain’t tryin’.
I did, it worked out well. I was close, missed it because of taking time off for a baby (small firm without an official parental leave policy), and it was just the reality of my experience. Integrity is underrated imo.
I WOULD ask the recruiter why they were asking, how they would use that info, what advice they have, etc. Or just don’t respond.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but unless it's an in-house recruiter, they work for you and their job is to find you a good placement. Really no reason to lie about this, since associates have no control over whether the work is there and lateraling because you're not getting the experience you want is 100% legitimate. Personally, I think being honest can only help because they can help you prepare how to answer the question if it comes from a partner or someone else at the firm (where I definitely don't recommend outright lying as a way to get off on the right foot).

A4, fair point if it's a retained search and they've reached out on behalf of a specific client. When I worked with a recruiter, they had no allegiance/loyalty to any particular firm and were really just focused on finding me the best possible fit.
A recruiter might ask that question as a way to determine what firms will be a good fit. If you're consistently billing under 2000, they may not suggest groups that expect 2200 to 2400 (or should at least tell you that's what you're getting into). This is especially true if you're coming from a mid-market firm and want to break into AmLaw where expectations are typically higher.
It could also be an inexperienced recruiter following a script from their training who has no idea what to do with that info.
