I don't know what a good work life balance is in India. Please tell me what working hours are
Dude you are in your 20s. You should forget work life balance and work hard if you want to climb good career in your life. After marriage you can think of work life balance. Now focus on hardwork
Bro... Majority of the companies in India don't have in their agenda to provide "good work life balance"... And it ultimately depends on the team / Manager not the company...
The best solution is have a good network of friends / peers who you can vent out anything!!
I disagree on the second part, in most companies, generally speaking, the work life balance depends not on the immediate team or manager, but on the overall organisation’s culture. And the overall culture drives from top-down, it comes from much higher ups. So basically, you can easily categorise companies where one is more likely to face bad work culture, but of course there could be some teams there too where it could be good. And the reverse too is true, you can categorise some companies where you will generally find good work culture, but some teams there too could have bad work culture. But an organisation wide assumption can easily be made about work life balance, since the culture drives from top-down. We lesser mortals have hardly anything to do there.
You have misplaced priorities. As a fresher your primary concern should be what technologies you will get to work on (thereby imparting you a firm technical base on which your future career could fly), or how much good quality of tech work you will get in which particular companies (or at least its relative chances). Talking of Work Life Balance, as to what it is, it is just as the word says, there has to be a balance, meaning that your office work should not disturb your personal life. For example, if your team lead or manager keeps scolding now and then, or keep putting too much pressure to finish work fast, then it may start affecting your peace of mind even after Office hours. As an another example, if you start getting assigned too much work, and you start getting forced to work beyond officer hours (either by direct verbal order, or by implied pressure), then that too will start affecting your personal life adversely. But frankly, these are not the things you are supposed to worry about in the initial 2-3 yrs. Much bigger aspect as a fresher, is the quality of work you get, and the quality of tech stack you get to learn as part of your work. If you enjoy the work, you will not mind some extra work too. But if you don’t like the work and you are forced to work extra, that will become a torture and you may feel like quitting IT industry altogether. So the quality of work is what is most important aspect. And the usual work hours, are 9-6 or 10-7 pm, though it all varies from company to company, and in many service based companies you may have to do night shifts too periodically. Good luck. Prepare well for the Interviews.
Go to some gulf country, have fun
I'm in Marketing & looking to switch to a company where there is good work life balance.
Seen many reviews about companies having a good or bad WLB. As a fresher, I would love to know what experienced people consider a good work life balance and how important it is while judging a company? Any other factors to consider?
