I've got offer from Morgan Stanley, Mumbai and Deutsche Bank,Pune for Senior Developer role. I've heard MS doesn't have Work-life balance but MS is offering a much better compensation.
Can anyone enlighten how is MS's work-life balance and is it manageable ?

P.S. Location isn't a constraint

I agree, Morgan Stanley doesn't have WLB and the work is monotonous. As for the pay, you should also consider Pune is much cheaper than Mumbai, and way better in quality of Life. From someone who has worked in Morgan Stanley and lived in Mumbai for a significant portion of his career, I'd choose DB in Pune anyday.

Go for DB. You'll always feel unappreciated at MS and these young years are not coming back. Maybe leverage MS offer to get better at DB.

One more thing you should consider is Pune vs Mumbai. Imo, Pune is way better (Consider dating life) and economical.

MS work life balance is pathetic as compared to DB.. (might expect you to work over weekends if required)

One of my friend moved from DB to MS and to date he regrets his decision (Although he is getting way better pay in MS than DB)

So you need to decide between Money or WLB..

I would say MS is better than DB

Brand wise, MS is a bulge bracket bank, and comes in the top 3 banks in the world. DB is decent. If you’re chasing clout and money, MS. If you want to have a better WLB and a decent pay, DB

I have heard DB has positive WLB

My firm’s IT (especially system saving and file locating function) is so bad 😐😞 and they keep doing updates no one asked them for just to mess with the stuff we already got a hang of without doing anything about the issues we actually need fixed. Anyone else in a similar boat? Do you bill the client for the time it takes to fix the IT issue (or IT inefficiency generally, like time taken to find a file in a convoluted system)? Or is that supposed to be our non-billable time?
