My to do list

When I wake up

7:00 am meetings

Knowing I can’t retire yet

Realizing that if I don’t get out of bed a couple of hours before work and hustle on my skills, I’m going to be doing this work that I absolutely hate for the rest of my life

What skills are you working on?

My wife yelling at me to get up already.

Not peeing in the sheets. That's about it.

Hi folks.

I wanted to know if HashedIn provides permanent WFH. Atleast for senior employees.

During my HR discussion, HR told me that senior employees like you (SE III) don't have to come to office.

I want to know if it's true or not.

Also please let me know what is the notice period in HashedIn.

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.
