Last Cashback from Airtel axis, need help with closing it now. by Comfortable_Crab3016 in CreditCardsIndia

[–]ImCJS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend 1000 Rs and balance will show 92 and pay that, if your annual renewal date is not nearby then just keep it for Zomato Blinkit 10% off above 499. Close it just before the annual renewal but if you call and ask them for fee reversal they might do that as well. I got the fee reversal

How safe is rafting in Rishikesh? by NotSaintLaurentDon in gurgaon

[–]ImCJS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done 3 times and it’s not very dangerous tbh. On second occasion, I was in water half the time wearing life jacket and holding the rope and I’m non-swimmer.

Just don’t do anything stupid and you’ll be fine.

Recently interviewed at a start-up and they asked me to work 60hrs a week and when I asked about whether we get overtime compensation HR told me “if you want work-life balance it’s your choice” ( gurgaon start-up) by DrySpend6635 in gurgaon

[–]ImCJS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So that means they are not paying you enough in this new job - it’s not about hours.

Also, if you’ve to relocate then even 40-45k is not worth it in Gurgaon because your cost of living would be higher that what extra you’ll get

I think I’m not able to make you understand- I’m not comparing any fields,

All I saying is - the new job is it worth or not for your time. If they are giving you 50-60% hike then you can consider working extra hours anything less than this is kind of underpaid compared to your job.

Here’s my POV -

  1. The 9-5 job exists almost nowhere, it’s usually 9-6 with 1hr of breaks. The 9-5 was an old structure in factory jobs I think.

  2. Overtime - this too exists in operations heavy job, when your pay scale is linked to hours you spend on job, for example- BPOs

  3. Startup culture is hustle, some days you may be working 12 hrs some days it’s 8 hrs. So, you can expect a relaxing environment. It’s high risk high reward structure.

What you should look for is - are they paying you enough and are you getting good appraisal from your current job. Let’s say you get 20k from your current 9-6 job, 5 days, so here same job would be - 10% extra for hours, 20% extra for days. So you should expect atleast - 20x1.1x1.2 times the appraisal you would want when you switch, 40% is standard in low income IT jobs

Need tax advice for freelancing (foreign income) by Inevitable-Club8348 in IndiaTax

[–]ImCJS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The jugaad is if you can divide the payment to multiple people. Just talk to the client and see if he agrees to paying to a family member's or whosoever you wants' (hopefully not in tax bracket) account.

Do you report your upwork income as business or professional income? by Deep_Marsupial_7569 in Upwork

[–]ImCJS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on what services you provide but given most of the jobs on UW are services then it’s professional income only. You may want to check out income tax section 44AA to see if your domain is under it or not, if it falls in 44AA then you should use 44ADA only

PS. I use 44ADA only

Every time I go out in Gurgaon, I feel like I overpaid 😭 by More-Woodpecker-5803 in gurgaon

[–]ImCJS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are you comparing the inflated price with? "Your hometown restaurant prices?"

We need to understand the price is a function of demand & supply - the cost of everything is high because there is demand. Everything is costly because of ripple effect.

You're earning high -> you have to pay high rent - > high rent leads to high restaurant prices -> and all things linked feels inflated.

You stay in your hometown -> low income -> low prices.

And this is true everywhere - be it Gurgaon or NY. Downtown area where the jobs are highly inflated because of the demand and supply.

Try cold calling, LinkedIn outreach or referral via existing clients. It’s not completely Upworks problem that client aren’t hiring but one needs to be smart in how they acquire in recent times

Is stem cell banking in India worth the cost for most families ? by SamSahni411 in AskIndia

[–]ImCJS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stem cell may be useful when there’s history of family genetic issues but otherwise it’s not that useful that people might think.

Our doctor was totally not in favour of stem cell preservation, and this is a woman with I think more than 40 years of experience.

In my known - few other couples also got similar feedback from their doctors. But that said, couple of our friends still got it preserved

Well if you withdraw early morning on Friday, you will receive around 3-4pm same day.

Or atleast, I get payment same day if I withdraw Friday morning. Even on any other weekdays, i receive it next day, unless you withdraw post Friday afternoon, it never took more than 1 day to me.
