What companies do you recommend that highly support working parents? I’m getting married and we plan to start a family next year. My current company and salary won’t support kids and buying a house.

In general you’re more likely to find better benefits at a bigger company. My advice is put as much as you can in savings before kids even if that means some sacrifices before you have to

I know it’s not some people’s cup of tea, but I’ve found every pharma agency to be family friendly. In pharma there’s less of the whole art/passion/life’s work mentality and more of the acknowledgement that this is a job people to do support their families, so that tends to come with more leeway when it comes to kid/family stuff. At my old agency, my (male) GCD would often have to work from home or take a day due to his kids, and he’d unabashedly email our entire large team about it. I also once had a director of production, also male, bring a 1-yo baby to the office because childcare fell through that day.

May I ask what agency? Currently pregnant (very early) and super nervous about how I’ll manage a newborn at my current agency.

Ok, I’m gonna say this. Schools should open. Now hear me out. My wife is a family doctor, she is working insane hours, she is treating covid patients, and there is a lot of days when she has to stay at the hospital without coming home. My neighbour works in a local grocery store, so he has been at work since the Day 1 of lockdown. So if you need medical help, or want to eat, it’s ok for those people to be at work, but their kids have to stay home? Cont’d >>

Hi fishes

My package is 25.5 LPA fixed. Can someone suggest which tax regime would be better for me. As of now I do not have a home loan to claim tax benefit.
Also what could be the in hand salary in my case.
PF deduction : 153000

like

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.
