Partners, I am pregnant at the end of my first trimester and due for promotion this year. I heard that teams won’t be favorable towards promoting pregnant women as they will go on maternity leave cont

Congratulations!

Assuming you’re ready, your pregnancy shouldn’t have anything to do with this:
1. We promote you for the duration of you being at that level, not just for a year. So you being out for a few months doesn’t make a big difference.
3. That is illegal in the US.

The best time to tell is when you feel comfortable and want to share. think most go with 2nd trimester but I had some women who shared the news earlier and some who didn’t until later. Really upto you. I shared with a couple of folks I was really close to during my first trimester, and shared broader when I started showing around month 5.

From a legal perspective, this shouldn’t be the case.

“From a legal perspective"

For half of the year. Does my pregnancy really impact my promo?

No

What is the best time to tell in the company?

Depends on the engagement really. Long engagement 2 -3 months. They’ll have to find someone and transition knowledge.

Wtf

Do it after your performance call happens

I got promoted (associate to senior associate) while on maternity leave. I was on leave April through September, PwC promotions are effective July 1. No one mentioned my pregnancy/leave while discussing promotion other than talking about making sure I was set up to be in SA roles once I got back.

It’s a blip on the screen to be pregnant nowadays. Literally, the folks evaluating you aren’t even thinking about it.

Hello All,

Can anyone please help me here.
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.
