The CA firm called the student 'oversmart' because they asked about working hours and stipend before applying for an articleship, which the firm perceived as being too forward.
The student asked two basic questions: what the working hours would be and what stipend was being offered, before formally applying for an articleship.
The student shared a screenshot of the WhatsApp conversation on Reddit.
Reactions included comments that the firm's response indicated a toxic work culture, that 'oversmart' is often used by those afraid of answering reasonable questions, and differing opinions on when to discuss pay.
The discussion encourages potential interns to advocate for their needs while reminding employers about the importance of respectful communication and a supportive workplace culture.
