The Story
I've spent eighteen years in sales and leadership. Nine of them in luxury retail and premium fashion, running stores, teams and targets. Nine in banking and financial services: private banks, a foreign bank and NBFCs.
In this line of work you switch jobs every two or three years. Sometimes by choice, sometimes because the business changes under you.
I've lived through every part of it. The offer that looked great until the first payslip came. The notice period that left a month with no salary. The resume that never got a reply. The negotiation I didn't do, because I didn't know what to ask for.
Every time, I worked it out on spreadsheets, with friends who knew a little, and with HR teams who had their own targets. And I kept thinking: why isn't there one honest place that shows you the real numbers?
I've also sat on the other side of the table, hiring and leading teams. I've seen good people undersell themselves and accept less than they were worth, simply because they didn't have the facts.
Job Shift Careers is the app I wish I'd had for every one of my switches. It won't promise you a job. It will tell you the truth about an offer, help you plan the gap, get your resume past the software, and send you into the HR call with numbers.
Your next step should be your best one. Chalo, let's make it count.

Our mission
Help every working Indian switch jobs with their eyes open: what an offer really pays, how long their savings will last, and what to ask for before they sign.
Our vision
Every job switch in India made with full information, not guesswork.
How Genie works
Genie is powered by AI and our own code, working together. The code does the exact work, like salary maths and tax. The AI helps with reading and writing. Anything the AI did is tagged, and nothing goes to it unless you press the button. How we handle your data.
Not a government app
Job Shift Careers is an independent app by Cutting Chai Studio. It is not a government app, doesn't represent any government or political entity, and isn't linked to any government body in India, the UAE or anywhere else. The tax, PF and gratuity rules we use come from official sources: incometax.gov.in (income tax), epfindia.gov.in (PF and pension), labour.gov.in (gratuity and the Labour Codes), mahagst.gov.in (Maharashtra professional tax) and mohre.gov.ae (UAE end-of-service gratuity).
Our promises to you
- No hidden numbers. We show the real in-hand pay, even when it's less than the offer suggests.
- Your data is yours. You can download it or delete it any time, and we never sell it. No ads.
- One fair price. ₹399 for a full year, with no auto-renew. The first 100 members get their first year free. If you use up your 50 Genie resume polishes, an optional ₹49 pack adds 10 more. Why a full year? Most job searches end in about 3 months, but sometimes, unfortunately, they go on for many months. I speak from personal experience.
Job Shift Careers uses gentle animations, like the genie and confetti, and no flashing or flickering effects. If motion bothers you, turn animations off in You → Animations, or switch on Reduce motion in your device settings.
Job shift? Chalo.
