이제 is more like "from now on"
지금 is "now" (as in "at this moment/time)

이제 and 지금 both are often translated to “now” but are a little bit different.
지금 [jee-geum] means “now” without special nuance. (Could be today, this month, this year, etc.)
이제 [yee-je] is more like “now that (something is happening)” / “from now on”.
Examples:
지금 가자. Let’s go right now (without delay)
이제 가자. Let’s go (now / since we’ve been here for a while)
지금은 여름이다. It’s summertime.
이제는 여름이다. It’s summer now. (the spring is gone)
지금 왔어요? You came now?
이제 왔어요? You came late!
지금 가세요. Go right now (this is the time).
이제 가세요. You should go now (you don't need to stay anymore / leave).
Other:
이제 와(서) Now that (we have come to this)
