Nearly 30 years investment banking experience operations, equity trading/market making, middle office, risk management, and now in Technology with about 5 years technical experience. Nearly 15 years @UBS in tri state with TC $125k... Hasn't been as lucrative to me as others it seems.

Ya…. Citi bank sent me 100 recruiters over the summer of 2022 trying to get me to move to Houston for $100-160k to be an iOS dev and I refused bc I knew how much the traders were making at Citi and proportionally it’s absolutely fucked up. Luckily I had leverage bc my skillset is in so much demand that I found a different job full remote making $100k

I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming?

An investment related query. I'm drawing 1 lac/month salary currently and serving notice period with lwd-26-Aug. So, do I need to show all the investment proofs that I declared here as it's only been 5 months in the fiscal year and PPF of 1 lac would make the 5 month salary (5 lacs) non-taxable, right? Please guide.
