Lost my job a few months ago. I accepted a position two steps back in my career, in order to have an income. How is this perceived by a recruiter when looking for roles in line with my overall experience? Any tips for rebounding from a big career set back? I have 26 years experience in insurance with major carriers in underwriting and product.

I would like to think the recruiter realizes they are bringing in someone with a wealth of knowledge and experience. Someone who has shown their work ethic and ability to focus on the big picture. It maybe a set back but the recruiter is seeing someone that can help elevate the brand.

I would continue to work hard and look for every one of the opportunities out there to move forward.

New in TCS but couldn't understand PF procedure and it's deduction from salary.
I am paying PF of amount 2040 getting deducted 2 times from my salary 1st according to CTC and after salary is getting credited then again same amount is deducted, so my question is this correct.
CTC is: PF+ 76185
Salary is: 76185-PF.
PF: 2040 so it's getting deducted 2 times same amount every month. Before salary is paid and after.
