Your benefits
True Work-Life-Choice
Most of us associate the term "work-life balance" with the compatibility of career, family, and free time. But for some people, a balance of 50/50 between work and private life may be ideal, while others may want to spend more time with the family or concentrate fully on their career.
We selected the term "work-life choice" to avoid being prescriptive here. That means that you can decide for yourself what your ideal balance of work and free time looks like. This allows you to reconcile your personal and professional needs totally individually within the framework of the PwC business model depending on your current stage of life.
