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.

Yes, 3 days in office as part of hybrid model. Your PM might suddenly ask you to come to office from next day.
So better plan and start going to base/nearest location office asap if you want to avoid escalations.
I have a confusion, my PM had a chat with me and there he explained me that I need to go to office and visit ODC but after that when he saw that I am facing challenges for going to different city due to the ODC thing then after the call he told me to go to the nearest office which is there in NOIDA, for IDC I was requested to come to Pune. So how could he do this like allow me to go to noida office even though ODC is not there? if that's possible then is it safe to say that I can work from noida only without worrying about having to go to different city?
Or get ready for no hike/🔥

I too got a similar mail today, what exactly should be done? Am I supposed to talk to my ESA PM for this since he is the one who supposedly assigned this as per the auto generated mail from ESA?
Where can we check the work model?
Got an mail from esa

You need to go to office 2-3 days a week, asap.
Is it CZHB-COG Hybrid (2-3 days/week)?
Yes
