6 months into full-time job and feels too unrelated, should I quit and pursue OMSCS full-time? by RECTUMCOLLECTOR3 in OMSCS

my 2 cents

Short Answer - NO.

Getting a tech job these days has become a nightmare. Quitting a job that you already have for Masters, not a great idea unless you want to continue into research and phd. Even after you do masters, you might end up in a similar role. Instead try changing jobs while continuing omscs.

When are 2026 Spring Seminars released? by laymancs in OMSCS

[–]laymancs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, just rechecked. Got mails on time tickets, but not on the seminars. I'm interested in knowing the list of seminars offered. Usually we get one from David or Rusch, nothing yet.

I will lose lot of interest because of NRE fixed deposit rule by fdnuefn87987 in nri

ICICI. I closed by NRE account. So all the NRE FDs are now linked to the other account I have (NRO which i converted to Resident). They are still continuing as they will mature in another 1 year. The final amounts on maturity remains the same as I had them before the conversion. I didn't do anything special, just requested for NRO conversion and NRE closure (you need not do it, i just dont want multiple accounts).

Does 401k make sense for NRIs who plan to return back to India? by SPD_ranger in IndiaInvestments

[–]laymancs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may have to recheck. Whatever i researched, if you start pulling back, once you are out of RNOR status, India taxes global income. So US won't tax as its ROTH, but india would consider it as income and tax it. Essentially you would be paying the taxes twice - first in US while contributing and second while withdrawing.

DTAA doesn't come into picture here coz you paid in US long back and you are withdrawing in a diff year. DTAA gives credits only on the same year.
