Who runs Job Shift Careers

Job Shift Careers™ is run by Cutting Chai Studio, a sole proprietorship owned by Imran Yusuf Malik. Address: 7, Floor - 2, Plot - 66K, Soonaiji Mansion, August Kranti Marg, Gowalia Tank, August Kranti Marg, Mumbai - 400036. Email: support@jobshiftcareers.com. When these terms say "we" or "us", they mean Cutting Chai Studio.

Who can use it

You must be 18 or older and give a real email address. One account per person.

What the tools are, and aren't

Salary, tax, gap and negotiation figures are close estimates to give you the gist, using FY 2026-27 tax rules. They are not exact payslip amounts and not financial, tax or legal advice. Confirm every figure with your employer, and use a chartered accountant for tax or money decisions.

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, gratuity and labour rules our tools use come from official government websites: 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).

Jobs on the board come from a job data provider and link to the employer's or job site's own page. We don't employ anyone, guarantee any job or check every employer. Match scores are a guide, not a promise. Never pay anyone to get a job.

When you tap Apply or a job-site button, you leave Job Shift Careers and go to a website we don't own or run, such as the employer's careers page or a job site. That website's own terms and privacy policy apply there. We never send your resume or details to employers or job sites; whatever you share on their website is between you and them. Jobs can close before they come off our board, and we can't promise a job is still open.

AI features

  • Some tools use AI (Claude models made by Anthropic, through our own server). AI can make mistakes. Read every line before you use or send it.
  • Our code checks each answer: it won't let the AI add skills or numbers you didn't give, and it does all salary and tax maths itself. Where a number is needed and you didn't give one, you'll see [add number] for you to fill in honestly.
  • Company X-Ray's pay range is a rough guide from general knowledge, not live data. Check current reviews and pay data before you decide.
  • Don't upload anything you don't have the right to share, or other people's personal details.

Price

  • Founding members: the first 100 members get their first year free, counted from the day they join. If you delete your account and come back with the same email, your founding year continues from where it was; it doesn't start again.
  • After that: a one-year pass for ₹399. It gives you every tool for one year from the day you pay. It does not renew automatically. We remind you 7 days before it ends, and founding members get an email a month before their free year ends.
  • Resume packs: ₹49 for 10 more Genie resume polishes. For pass holders and founding members. A pack adds Genie polishes only, and its unused polishes end when your current pass or founding year ends.
  • Creator links. Some creators share a link to Job Shift Careers. If you buy a one-year pass on our website within 30 days of first opening such a link, the creator gets a share of what you paid, at no extra cost to you, and some links give you a lower price (for example ₹359 instead of ₹399), shown before you pay. This applies only to passes bought on our website, not in the Play Store app.
  • Prices include any taxes that apply. We'll tell you before any price change, and it never affects a pass you've already bought.
  • When all founding spots are taken and passes aren't on sale yet, new members can sign up and we'll email them when passes open. Tools need a founding year or a pass.
  • No refunds once paid. Passes and resume packs are not refunded, including unused time or unused Genie polishes. We always refund in full if you were charged twice, if you paid but your pass or pack didn't start, or if a fault on our side stopped you using the app and we couldn't fix it. Details: Refund and cancellation policy.

Fair-use limits

To keep the price low for everyone, AI tools have limits. Founding members and pass holders get the same limits:

  • Genie resume polish: 50 a year (plus any packs you buy). Building and tailoring a resume with our own code has no limit.
  • Genie resume read: 2 a week (only when our own code can't read your resume; reading it by code has no limit).
  • Genie's deeper look when switching careers: 30 a month (the switch plan by our own code has no limit).
  • Genie offer-page read: 2 a month, one photo or one PDF page each (only when our own code isn't sure; reading by code has no limit).
  • Company X-Ray: 5 a month.
  • Genie's wishes (an AI answer to a work question when none of Genie's 500 ready answers fits): 3 a month. The ready answers have no limit.

Weekly limits reset every Monday at midnight India time; monthly limits on the 1st. "Try again" on the same request within 30 minutes doesn't use up your limit, up to a small share of it. The app always shows how many you have left. To stop misuse, we may slow down or pause AI for an account that sends too many requests in a short time.

Nicknames and community rules

  • Nicknames are 3 to 20 characters, start with a letter, and use only English letters, numbers, spaces, dots, dashes or underscores. No phone numbers, links, impersonation (like "Admin" or "Team") or rude words in any language. You can change it once every 30 days.
  • Don't post anyone's name, phone number, email, address, PAN, Aadhaar or salary slip, including your own.
  • No spam, selling, referral fees, fake job posts or scams. No abuse, hate, harassment or threats. Don't share your employer's confidential information.
  • Breaking these rules can get your account suspended for good. A suspended account loses its founding status or pass without a refund for the unused time.

Animations

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.

Who owns what

  • The app is ours. The Job Shift Careers website, app, design, wording, tools, tips, Genie answers, polls, pictures and code belong to Cutting Chai Studio, which runs Job Shift Careers, and are protected by copyright. Use them for your own job switch, but please don't copy, sell or rebuild them without our written permission.
  • Our name and logo. Job Shift Careers™ and its logo are trademarks of Cutting Chai Studio.
  • Your details are yours. Your resume, offer details, tracker and anything else you add belong to you. We only use them to run your account, as our Privacy policy explains.
  • Resumes you make are yours. Resumes written or tailored in the app are yours to use however you like, and carry no Job Shift Careers branding.
  • Your posts. You still own what you write. By posting, you let us store it, show it to other members in the app and remove it if it breaks the rules.
  • Other names and content. Job sites, companies and other names mentioned in the app belong to their owners. Job Shift Careers isn't made by or linked to Anthropic, Google, Razorpay or any job site.

Our responsibility

We provide the app as it is and try to keep it running and accurate, but can't promise it will always be available or error-free. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for decisions you make based on its estimates or AI answers, and our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the last 12 months.

Ending your account

You can delete your account any time from You > Delete my account. We may suspend accounts that break these terms, as explained above.

These terms are governed by the laws of India, with courts in Mumbai having jurisdiction. Questions: support@jobshiftcareers.com. See also our Privacy policy.
