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.

TCS is a s*** show but considering your situation and the pay you’re being offered - go for it.
SM1 thanks for the perspective !

I’d jump on the salary increase alone 🙉
I would jump to that salary for a step down in title tbh
I worked at TCS (Tata Consulting Services tcs.com) - whatever prestige your firm has that you enjoy - erase that. working with smart peers, great managers, and cool projects - nope. However, you can put in a year and bounce for an even higher offer elsewhere if you can build your resume while there.
if you are a white american be prepared to experience being the diversity hire/token.
As long as you're excited about the opportunity, the firm, the people, and the brand on your resume, the comp hike is worth it, but I'd make sure those other elements check out for you.

What is your goal for 5 years from now?
If you want to stay in consulting I see some rationale in taking the salary hike. If you want to leave I’d be making your next jump to industry

Take the pay bump. If you absolutely hate it try and make it to manager and exit to industry or boomerang back.

Sorry, what?
Worth a shot...but get what you can upfront. Increases are few and far between.
Made a similar jump as you did (to one of the WITCH). Tbh, not worth it. Pay raises are abysmal. Prepare to stay at around ~2% pay raise for the next few years even as a decent performer. Trying to go back to b4 with a grade higher and it seems impossible

Well what's the alternative? You need these guys for those tech implementations that require extensive SDLC

What is TCS?
Ask for a counter at your current gig? May not be able to match dollar for dollar but assuming you don’t hate your current role theres a lot of intangible value in your current network.
Better the devil you know than the one you don’t. Plus if the economic recovery stalls for any number of reasons I’d feel uneasy being a new hire with no network/air cover if heads start to roll.
That's the damn truth. Living this one out now. Although having the extra money is nice. OP - Definitely try to get your current company to bump you up and wait for an opp that is a better fit culturally. They're out there. It's worth the wait IMO.
Whats ur location and Yoe? R u in bay area?
Seems like a good deal if money is priority.
Do u envision to work on tech/non-tech which u r interested in? If yes, dont listen to any crap and go for it.
