Should I take Siegfried Offer?
Hi everyone, I'm comparing two offers from Accenture and Cognizant. Could you help me figure out some of these questions: 1. At 5 YOE, what kind of package can I expect? Current offers: Accenture (12LPA fixed, 2.5L variable), Cognizant (14.3LPA fixed, 45K variable) 2. Nature of work - What kind of work can I expect from these companies? 3. would I get the opp to use any authoring Tools? 4. Work life balance - which is better? 5. Increments - avg % hike? 6. Culture - which is better?

I am really of the opinion that personality and family environment are a much greater indication of whether siblings will get along than a specific age gap (if that is what your question is getting at).
I have a sister 5 years older than me and a brother 2 years younger. I dont get on with my brother and never did but my sister and I are extremely close. When planning for my second kid I will focus on ensuring it is a time both me and my husband are ready, rather than paying attention to any age gap intervals.
Not really an answer to your question but hope it is useful!
Thank you!
1.5 between #1 and 2, and 2.5 years between #3 and 4, difference in kids
Parents are about a year apart.
Wanted to knock them out, and move on with the baby stage. It’s tough but this way everyone can grow up together.
Having them further apart you can actually “cherish” the stages you may have missed otherwise. But honestly, Covid let me get to relive a lot I missed previously with the older kids and just got to bond
#1 and 2 used to fight a lot. They still do but slightly less lol. Granted they are young 4 and 5 currently. But they miss each other if one is not home. #1 is very motherly to #3 because 3 is about 17months. #2 tries to copy that now. But used to be rough.
Keep in mind #1 and #3 are girls. 2 is a boy

I am 8 years apart from my sister. I don't know how or why my parents did it that way but we are super close and definitely a role model for me. I use to wish we were closer in age only because I never really got to play with her. When I was 4 she was 12, not really in the same play age but as I got older I appreciated the age gap more and more.
My oldest are twins, then my third is 3 years younger and my 4th is 1 year younger than #3 (so they are 9,9,6,5 now). Obviously with twins the cons are two babies but the pros are that they are super close (and arguably you can’t plan for them). With the 3 year difference, it was great. My older two were so helpful and kind to the baby. For #4, they were also really helpful but #3 was super resentful of the baby. Now, several years later, they play in different combos. The older and younger pairs tend to play like same age friends - very collaboratively. When there is an older/younger combo, it tends to be teaching the younger things, etc. It’s an awesome age diff and aside from having an extremely busy 5ish years there, it’s great to have kids who can play together as well as help each other, teach things, and have enough siblings that they can always find someone to play.
Thank you!
