Is there a way to vet out if a company has good work-life balance during the interview? Any suggestions on questions I can ask without them taking it the wrong way?

I like connecting with people from the company to ask them about the company, but during the interview, I would ask “How do team members unplug after hours?” or “How does the company support boundaries?” that helps me feel the vibe too. Do you try networking with people at the company?

That’s a great suggestion. I’ve tried to add some people on LinkedIn from that company. Especially alumni from my college so I can candidly ask them questions.

Hi,
I have got an offer from Accenture and the fixed amount is 16lac and the only deduction they said will happen is PF from this 16 lac and it seems I need to bifurcate the split ups for the basic HRA and other allowance during the onboarding time.
Could anyone have any suggestions if this is a normal process for Accenture where they ask us to fill up the split ups.
Also, help me calculate the in hand approx for this.
