Is it worth it to apply to jobs during the holidays, or should I just take a break and spend time with my family?

It doesn't hurt to take a break. However, with the state of the job market, I am still applying. It doesn't hurt to apply here and there and still enjoy your time :).

Take a break and enjoy the family time. It's only a couple of weeks. And it's not like companies are in a rush to hire at this time of year.

I personally would keep applying. Not everyone’s fiscal year is the same and could be looking once they return

I would say take a break or at least slow down
Most of the positions posted now won’t have a meeting until after holidays anyway

I have made my tax payment in July 2022 but yesterday (15 Nov 2022) I receive an email that tax payment is due for assessment year 2022-23

I called to help desk and he advised to raise rectification request from Tax portal and update the challan number. I tried to raise request but need to upload some XML or json file there. I am not sure how to upload or modify that file.

Does anyone know what steps need to follow as I already made my tax payment.

Which one of us is more right than the other? I'm interested in getting as many viewpoints as possible, whether or not they agree with me or with her. Thanks!!!

What is one of the most frustrating parts of being a scientist or researcher?

I'll tell you what it is: referencing!

You have to do so much of it, and it's so annoying. You have to cite your sources, but there are so many different formats for citations! And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
