Went to the post office today to send some postcards internationally, and the staff told me a photo postcard would cost ₹36 and that I have to put it in an envelope.

Is that actually correct? 😅 I thought international postcards could be sent without an envelope and the postage was around ₹15.

Do I need to put them in an envelope, or can I just send the postcards.

I have a B.Com in Finance & Taxation and 1.5 years of experience as a Tax Associate. I'm considering switching to AML/Financial Crime or FP&A.

My goals are:

Good salary and career growth

Good work-life balance

WFH/hybrid opportunities

Possibility of working abroad in the future

Is switching from tax to AML or FP&A a good idea at this stage?

What skills and certifications should I learn to get a job faster in both? Should I learn Al tools/automation as well?

I'd really appreciate advice from people working in either field.

I went to two post offices today, and they told me that postcards have been stopped and they’re not available at any post office now.

I know it's a stupid question. Can I draw and color the yellow postcards and send?

I am a B.Com finance and Tax graduate with 1.5 yr exp as tax associate. I'm to planning to switch from Tax Associate to AML. How do I get into AML? Currently I won't be able to get CAMS. Any certification I can get instead of CAMS atleast to get job. How is the job market? Is it worth switching? Can anyone guide? I'm from India

Hey everyone, kind of stuck rn. I've got a B.Com and have been working as a Tax Associate for the past 1.5 years, but I want to switch into something else. Narrowed it down to Anti money laundering or FP&A, but honestly I don't know enough about either to pick.

If anyone's actually worked in one of these, I would love to hear how it's been — pay, growth, day to day work, all of it. Also curious if one of these makes it easier to eventually work abroad someday.

Also open to other career options if you think there's something better suited for my background. Kinda lost rn so any advice helps, thanks!

I recently left my job in tax and I'm looking to start fresh. I know every career has its tough sides, but I'd rather deal with a hard job that pays well than a hard job that pays poorly.

What career paths actually have real potential to make you rich? open to everything and interested in learning.

What worked for you? What would you do differently if starting over?

Edit- I have done Bcom in finance and Taxation. I have experience in 1.5yrs exp in US Tax.

Hi! I'm new to this and have seen a lot of reels about permanent pictorial cancellations.

I'm on the Jayanagar side. Where can I get these done in Bangalore? Can I bring my own book or do we need postcard for the cancelation?

Thanks in advance!

I'm interested in doing ACCA so before starting I want to know what jobs you end up after ACCA?

I was working as a Tax Associate for 1.5 yrs and now I have resigned from the job. I'm thinking of switching my career as I'm not interested in tax anymore. I don't know if that is a good move. My main goal is to move abroad for work mainly in the next 2 years. I'm thinking of getting a role in FP&A . Is it good?? I'm willing to learn. I'm a bcom in finance and Tax graduate. Or can you suggest any finance related roles???

I was working as tax associate with 1.5 yrs of experience. Not interested in that field anymore. Wanted to switch to product analyst role

Can I get job as a fresher? Is it good idea to switch?

What all things should i learn?

My background bcom in finance and taxation. Also I'm open to any other career options

I'm 22 F and a bcom graduate. After graduation I started working in US Tax field in a small company. I change my company and I'm doing here US Tax,Indian tax and bookeeping. This is also a small company. I'm not liking my job. There are giving me mental pressure . Working overtime which is unpaid, shoutings from manager(making you feel worthless kinda talks). Today I resigned . I'm not interested in this field anymore. I don't know what to do. Should I study anything or look for another job?

What should I study in 2026 which is worth taking?

I want career, where there is a good work life balance and good pay. I love to move abroad but the job market is tough and if I get masters from there also I won't be able to find job. Someone please advise

I have done US Tax, Payroll,Bookeeping, basic Indian Tax

My work time is from 9 to 6.30. As it was busy season my manager told me to extend an extra 1 hr,as I was an idiot I said okay to that. So last week everyday I left the office at 8 PM.So yesterday I asked her that I will continue this work on Monday as it will not finish that day so she told me to send the pending docs mail to ask the client. As I'm new to this job. I don't know what all documents are needed so I have been asking her if this is needed or not. She was in another meeting with ceo so she was seeing the msg and not replying. I told her that I need to leave today at 7.30 due to an emergency.She is not checking the msg in teams and in WhatsApp I called her still not responding. Note it's already 7.45. now there is a call with the ceo for everyone (note it is already 7.45 after working hr).he goes on lecturing about some other stupid stuffs. I don't understand that if he wants to give us a lecture then he could have give before the working hr ends . Right?

and I left the office at 8 and my manager texted me to send the pending docs by night as I told I won't be able to sent today I will sent on Monday. She is telling me I need to give that on Saturday morning not Monday. I told her I don't have a laptop with me. I don't know she is calling me . Just put my phone in aeroplane mode.I don't know what to do about this. I:m thinking I will loose my job. They are expecting me to work as a robot without giving free time

Note-I won't get paid for the extra hrs I worked.

What is the one food you want to try the most?

I'm 22F from India. I completed my B.Com and currently have around 1 year of experience in US Tax. I'm working in a small company and earning 4 LPA.

The main issue is that I'm unable to save much money. By the time my salary comes, most of it is already spent on living expenses and responsibilities. I don't feel like I'm building any financial security for the future.

Lately, I've been thinking about moving abroad for better opportunities. I know the job market isn't great right now, but I also feel that nobody knows what the market will look like 5 years from now. Part of me thinks it may be better to take the risk earlier rather than later.

I've considered getting a job in India first and then moving abroad through an internal company transfer. But that would likely require joining a large company, staying there for several years, and hoping an opportunity comes up. There's no guarantee that would happen either.

By the time 5+ years pass, family expectations around marriage may also become a factor. The job market could be completely different by then as well.

Another thing is that I'm not sure whether I want to continue in US Tax long-term. I'm open to changing careers and learning something new. Since my 1 year of experience may not carry much value abroad anyway, I sometimes feel that if I'll have to start from scratch there, maybe it's better to start sooner rather than later.

My mindset right now is that life feels difficult here, and I know moving abroad won't magically solve everything. There will be struggles there too. But if I'm going to struggle either way, maybe I should do it somewhere with potentially better opportunities and growth.

I'm confused between:

* Pursuing a Master's abroad

* Trying to find a job abroad directly

* Continuing my career in India for a few more years

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Any advice would be appreciated.
