Hello,

I have around 10 years of overall IT experience, including 5 years as a Guidewire Digital Developer, worked on xEngage applications, custom portals, and JDP microfrontends. I'm currently with a Big 4 firm and am interested in exploring opportunities at Guidewire, particularly in the Bangalore office or remote roles.

My experience with PolicyCenter configuration is limited. Would that be sufficient to be considered for a role at Guidewire? How challenging is the interview process, what are the typical expectations, and what areas should I focus on to prepare? I'd appreciate any advice from those who have made a similar transition.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

​

I recently switched jobs, and my monthly salary is now around ₹2 lakh. I currently have an HDFC salary account(Preferred banking), but I haven't found the benefits particularly compelling, so I'm considering moving my salary account to another bank.

​

For someone in this salary range, which banks offer the best premium banking experience, benefits, rewards, customer service, or other valuable perks?

​

I'd appreciate recommendations based on your personal experience, along with any pros and cons you've encountered.

​

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

hello ppl, I was a senior consultant at another big4 and got an offer with EY for a managerial role. So wanted to understand what's basically expected out of Rank 32 Manager roles apart from regular work? yoe 12yrs

How is work life at EY for consulting roles?

Hi,

A few years ago, I accepted an offer from a company but ultimately did not join. Unfortunately, I also failed to formally inform them that I would not be joining. After about a month of no communication from my side, the company issued a termination letter citing non-joining/no-show.

However, they had already created a PF account for me and appear to have reported one month of employment, which now overlaps with my actual employment at another company during the same period. At the time, I was unaware that this could create complications in the future.

Later, when transferring my old PF balance to my current employer's PF account, I also transferred the PF amount associated with this one-month record because the portal was not allowing me to proceed otherwise.

Is there any way to have this employment record removed or delinked from my service history, considering I never actually joined or worked for the company? Has anyone faced a similar situation, and what would be the appropriate process to correct this?

I raised a delink request and my current status is Pending at employer. However I don't have any contact with my employer to reach out for this. How to get this moving?

Here's a polished forum post you can use:

Hello everyone,

I recently received and accepted an offer from EY GDS for a Project Manager role. I have not yet submitted my EIS and BGV documents because I am waiting for my resignation to be formally accepted by my current employer before proceeding further.

Given the current macroeconomic environment and hiring trends across the industry, I have a few concerns and would appreciate insights from current employees or recent joiners.

- How common is it for EY GDS to delay joining dates after an offer has been accepted?

- Has anyone experienced their joining date being pushed out significantly due to business or project-related reasons?

- Has anyone seen offers being withdrawn after acceptance, especially for experienced hires with relatively higher compensation packages?

- At what stage can a candidate generally consider the offer reasonably secure—after offer acceptance, after BGV completion, or only after joining?

I understand that every case is different, but hearing about recent experiences would help me assess the situation better before I formally resign from my current organization.

Thank you in advance for your inputs.

Need guidance on ITR filing for a jointly purchased resale flat.

My wife and I purchased a resale flat for ₹60 lakh during FY 2025-26. The property is jointly registered in both our names, and we have taken a joint home loan of ₹40 lakh, with both of us as co-borrowers.

Some additional details:

- Both of us are salaried employees.

- My annual salary income is around ₹28 lakh.

- My wife's annual salary income is around ₹11 lakh.

- Both of us have opted for the New Tax Regime.

- Out of the property cost, ₹10 lakh was received by me as a gift from my father and used towards the purchase.

My questions are:

1. Do we need to disclose the property purchase anywhere in our respective ITRs?

2. Since we are under the New Tax Regime, do we need to report the joint home loan in the ITR even if no home loan tax benefits are being claimed?

3. Does the ₹10 lakh gift received from my father need to be reported in my ITR, and if yes, where?

4. Are there any additional compliance or reporting requirements for a jointly owned property and joint home loan that we should be aware of?

Appreciate any guidance from tax professionals or anyone who has handled a similar situation.
