Hi All,
Currently I'm in KPMG as a consultant role with 11 CTC. Got offer from Capgemini for C1 level with 14.5 CTC (including 10% variable).

Capgemini is offering the location which I prefer, and I'm also looking for long term.

How will the work life balance in Capgemini and is it a good offer to accept.

Pls provide your valuable suggestions.

For us NYers, has anyone’s firm given a concrete estimate/indication of when we’ll be expected to be back in the office?

Seems like other industries (tech obviously, but also big4) have been more forthcoming - wfh through end of the summer, etc., - even as the reopen momentum seems to grow in the city. Any info/educated guesses?
