I always casually apply to keep things in motion, get some practice interviewing, and learn what other roles are paying.

If I’m not interesting I’ll usually just thank the recruiter and ask to stay in touch for future roles. I’ve actually had a few follow up with me months later for roles.

The hiring slowdown hasn’t changed my approach, just means that if I do want to apply seriously or am worried about losing my job, I’ll need another month or two of applying/interviewing before I land a replacement.

You should always be looking for next role the moment you signed the offer letter. I was expecting the employers to give me what I deserved, and my career/salary were stalling for first 6 years, and then I learned to be aggressive, and had two title jumps and 2x my salary in last two years. There are risks if you make the move but there are risks if you stay.

For rent paid below 1 lakh there is no need to submit landlord's PAN. I have calculated based on my HRA and if I show rent paid as around 96k my tax refund will be around 13k.

However there is no rent agreement or rent receipts.

Will it be a problem later on if I show this in my ITR?

Has anyone at PwC received their w-2? I interned with the firm last year and haven’t received any notice about it.

How are experienced hires vs recent grads treated at top consulting firms? I understand that each branch of each firm will be different from the other and it depends on the leadership. But have there been any uniform truths that people have noticed?
