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.

If your intention is to let them know what’s wrong so they can improve, go for it. If you just want to share your frustration, then there’s no need.
Be honest but diplomatic. He’s probably very aware of these issues and hopefully this will give him added ammunition to go to management. That’s me being all glass is half full.

True. Unless he’s the one causing some of the issues. 🤔
Be honest with him so he can make things better in the future. Being honest is not burning a bridge!
You don’t have anything to gain by being honest. Tell them that you enjoyed working there and thank them for the opportunities.
They probably already know about the problems and weren’t motivated to fix them while you were there. Doubtful that anything will change because of something someone said as they were walking out the door.
I agree for the most part-unless you really know the person or you feel in your gut that this person cares or wants to hear them there isn’t much to gain other than speaking your mind (if so inclined). Even then one has to make sure to not be angry, personal, not get too detailed/verbose etc etc and it seems like not worth the effort.
Unpopular opinion - say nothing negative about your boss or the company and do not burn any bridges. Stay positive! Unload anonymously online if you need to.
If you do decide to give constructive criticism, be prepared to answer this question, “why didn’t you bring this to me before?”

It’s too late for them to fix anything for you. Actions speak louder than words and you’re leaving. That’s the real message, if he’s listening.
My company does quarterly employee satisfaction surveys. Every time, people unload about how X is a problem, leadership does a powerpoint, and then we all move on and do the same shit. You’re leaving and have nothing to gain here. Nobody is going to listen to your opinion and implement changes for the people still there.

I think your latter option explains the former option but in a positive way.
Tell your boss why. Be sure to back up with facts where you felt you were over looked for a promotion. Why would a bridge be burned for stating facts?
Are you serious? Of course it would.
It honestly depends on how open your relationship with this boss is. Are u buddies? If so, you can be civil and real with him and say it’s a promotion aaannnd u took that promotion because of said things.
If you and this boss don’t have a personal relationship, I’d keep it str8 and just say it’s a better opportunity. Usually what happens is you want to say EVERYTHING and the time doesn’t present itself.
One way to approach this is to ask your boss, “How can I be of help to you?” He’ll then either be specific about what he sees or finds frustrating, or he’ll fish. You can choose what to validate. If you are helpful without sabotaging anyone else, you can get your voice heard and not burn a single bridge.
I think it’s weird that you’re having an exit interview with your boss and not HR
I like to do both, it gives me an opportunity to see things from another perspective in how things can be better. I actually ask the same questions during performance check ins but occasionally get vastly different answers. It’s quite surprising sometimes.
I’ve never worked at a place where they genuinely cared about reasons why people want to leave. Even if you are missed for a while, they will replace you sooner than later and will go back to business. Just tell them you felt the moment felt right for a new opportunity and thank them for the opportunities and teaching experiences.
How did it go OP?!
Do whatever is in your own best interest.
Ok cuomo
I think it totally depends on your reason for leaving, and what you’ve outlined here is absolutely worth sharing and shouldn’t burn any bridges.
I have left many jobs in my life and unless you want to leave an important message behind for the sake of others, (there’s a pattern of xx at the office, this person is toxic, etc), just smile and wave. Move forward, nothing really happens after you leave and if you just make unimportant vague nasty comments, they’ll only reflect poorly on you. Now, sashay away.
Be candid. Encourage candor.
Be honest. You're already leaving who cares if you hurt their feelings.
