The lure of high salaries is back on IIM campuses this
placement season, but students aren’t getting swayed. They’re looking for job
offers that give them a work-life balance.

Students at the country’s premier management institute, the
Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIM-A), have moved up many notches on
the hierarchy of needs. The bulge of pay packets isn’t the only thing that
entices them in selecting an employer.

“There seems to be an increasing awareness about work-life
balance in Generation Y. Their outlook on life is far different from the
youngsters of the 1980-90 generation. The general perception that youngsters in
age group of 20-25 years offer to work for longer hours is fast changing,” he
says.
