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.

Hello Fishes, Our project management asked us to return the assets by Oct 1st. They are forcing us to pick any upcoming Saturday's to return the assets, that to we need to report the office by 10 am to return the system. Does this "return to pick up" option in Ultimatix still works or we need to go to office only to return the system.? Tata Consultancy

Interviewing w fortune 500 that offers 15 pto days that have to use for sick days too.Strictly in office job 9-5 and dress bus.prof. These bad benefits? Outdated culture?I am a seasoned professional. Seems tough.

I've heard good things about Houston
Floods, humidity, bugs, endless shopping centers, flat boring land, and filled with Taxans. Food is good.
Maybe think of leaving for industry, vs relocating and thinking that’ll solve it? I’ve consulted/lived in tier 1 and tier 2 cities and from my experience the rat race is driven by consulting culture in general.
You have a point there...
Or just switch to federal where we move at .5 miles per hour
I said what I said.
San Diego is very expensive. I would look at Denver and Austin.
DC in fed is the most chill
Agree BAH 5. DC is great, especially the music scene
I moved from NYC to Denver, and honestly, my wlb is not different. Denver is great, but people that hustle are gonna hustle. There is a lot to do and being near the mountains is great, but it can still be a haul to get to them and it’s always a haul to get to the airport. I’m not suggesting a move is not a great idea, but I think stress can be very internal and a move is not a magic bullet to alleviating it.
Huntsville, AL. It's the best kept secret out there.
Denver. Hands down
Can’t go wrong with either Denver or SD! Super chill and people value WLB. Just depends on if you want more mountains or more water. Your ambition may not be as understood here, but it’s a good reality check. Good luck!
