When’s the right time in an interview process to bring up a past DUI if an application doesn’t ask about past criminal charges? I have 8 years experience, the DUI was 10 years ago (college) and I haven’t dealt with this since joining PwC way back when. Do you be forthcoming during interviews, bring it up in conjunction with authorizing a background check, deal with it on the back end, etc? It’s old enough that hopefully isn’t going to be a big deal but unfortunately it will follow me.

I wouldn’t mention it until the background check

like

Wait until background check clears to quit and bring it up then if it comes up. Interviewers and team you’ll be working with don’t need to know

I’ve never brought it up. They didn’t say anything about it in the background check and it’s def there

Only answer the questions that are asked.

Bring it up only if asked. No need to otherwise.

I recently interviewed for a small strat consulting company (energy industry). I have 3 YoE and would be moving from engineering. the HR person asked me what my salary expectations were I was caught offguard and said I would expect it to be at least what I make now (around 100k). Im now worried theyll lowball me because I really shouldve asked for 120+bonus (I think this is market rate?) But they have salary bands they follow right?So if they pay consultants 140 usually would they offer me 100k?

Hi Fishes

Joined My new company this Jan. My previous income was not eligible for tax slabs. Now while adding the income from Apr 21-Mar 2022 it's become 5.9 LPA. I don't have any investments and in my new company I declared the same. The only tax exemption I have is PF contribution and professional tax. I have only 25K PF contribution and 2.5K professional tax. So while calculating the tax I am getting 15K as tax payable. How can I avoid this 15k. Kindly pour your suggestions. TIA.
