Work life balance is a fancy term used by recruiters in India in IT services sector, in a still developing economy like India it befalls on our generation to bring business provide uniterrupted services to clients sitting in developed world.
Unless the roles are reveresed and India wants similar IT services by giving hefty billing on our own timezone the term WLB is like expecting snowfall in Delhi.
For IT service people WLB is a state of mind when one has established oneself into the process.

6:30 a.m. - Wake up, breakfast & journal

1- 5 p.m. - Continue doing agency work

first call with SF CSG Recruiter is scheduled for Senior Architect role. Appreciate insights from you all.
1. How is work life balance in CSG?
2. What is the typical billability target? Does one have to market oneself for billability or the Practice lead takes care of it?
3. Honestly- I have seen SF people pushing for products which are really not needed by clients. I can never do such a thing - so is there an expectation from the AE’s that Architects should do so?

TIA

How's it like working for PwC India as SAP Functional Senior Associate?
I have a 5.3y work ex with ACN, as a FSCM consultant (L10 currently, was assured of a L9 effective March, but declined due to growing poor culture within ACN).
Got an offer from PwC India
Current TC: 9.5 LPA.
PwC Offered TC: 19 LPA.
IBM Offered Fixed: 17 LPA
IBM would be a smooth drive, but skeptical to join PwC given the WLB issues, as a lot of folks say.

Any thoughts, comments would be really helpful!
