On the other hand, Morgan Stanley requires working from the office three days a week. Considering factors like work-life balance, work culture, and career growth, kindly suggest which would be the better choice.

Dislikes

Promotion is not worth it and salary hike is total disaster. HR attitude are on different galaxy and I had to face issues during my separation from organisation. Earlier it was decided an early release but later it was extended by my manager. No communication from HR side regarding that and no actual clarification was provided by them. Due to financial problem I cannot book flight to office location ( round way minimum 19k and no train available ) and to this they didn't even accept my request to submit asset to nearest. To those who read this kindly remember to mail each and every word to HR during this period of separation as according to them verbally affirming them thousands of time is not acceptable.
