How is the work life balance in Citi?
Here is the scenario: Have 2 offers from IT MNCs and 1 from Citi. Citi's offer is the highest. Almost 5 lakhs diff in the fixed component. Although money is important, but I am also seeking a little balance with life. I was previously in ZS Associates and to be frank, life was hell. I am not looking to relive that phase again.
What are the daily actual working hours?
Shall I join Citi or let go it for a lower package offer?
Seeking honest advice here.

Bain & Company Hey! Got dinged at BCG and Mck and then hadn't heard back from Bain, but just found out I made it to final rounds. I haven't been prepping for over a week as it'd be two since my first round at Bain.
Help! Whats different or similar about Bain final rounds? I'm applying to Texas offices for an experienced AC role. I also may have to have an accelerated final round as I'm leaving the country for most of April. Bain & Company

Do you always need an MBA to get into MBB?
McKinsey & Company I did my final round with McKinsey today, and I I received a rejection call from the partner today. However, he said I did really great and wants to keep in touch with me. He also mentioned that I should reapply in 6 months. Does anyone have any similar experience? Do I have a better chance if I reapply next time?McKinsey & Company

Didn’t apply with any test scores.
Thanks for sharing! Do you mind sharing the comp for the SAC role at Bain?
Optional. I had a perfect SAT though from my college application. It felt kinda stupid putting it down after 7 years since I took that exam, but there was no reason to hold back good info. No idea if it helped or not, but I got in 🤷🏻♀️
I submitted my SAT and ACT when I applied as a BA in 2014. My friends at the firm highly recommended it.
I submitted my GMAT score in 2017 and my M7 bschool coached to include GMAT on resume.
Yes, I included in the education section since those standardized tests enabled my admission

I only put ACT and came in as an SA. Last I recall, placing the score is optional.
Thank you BCG1
London Bain here, but no test scores needed.

Was considering B School so had a fresh GMAT. It was strong, so I included it. Figured it couldn’t hurt.

Didn’t provide any scores when I applied to McKinsey as an experienced hire EM.

That’s great. BCG didn’t put me anywhere near my subject matter expertise, and I’ve suffered for it. Had a McK offer, and it seemed like they were going to integrate me into a team aligned to my experience. Wish I’d taken it. Regional staffing model is hard.
