Depending on your project you might be asked to do Saudi week

It depends on the project. If you’re working with clients in KSA you’ll work Sunday to Thursday

Yes same here.
On some cases Managers and above cover Sun - Thu while Cs and lower cover Mon - Fri.

Friday is chiller since you can actually get work done without being interrupted by ad-hoc requests or back-to-back client calls.

Hi folks, I have recently joined Publicis Sapient taking an offer of 14.4 LPA. I have total 4.5 years of experience and my previous CTC was around 3.4 LPA. I had various offers in hand but not one to counter this one and PS is providing me 4x+, so I couldn't negotiate much.

Another thing is I was an immediate joiner as I had left my previous organisation 3 months ago so I couldn't wait to think about this offer.

But now I think it's low, what do you think please let me know and suggest.
