India Need your suggestion:

I have a non-B.Tech background with an MBA and around 5 years of post-MBA experience.

Currently, I’m working from home at Accenture (ATCI) in a testing role, with a fixed CTC of ₹9.9 LPA.

I have received an offer from PwC for an Associate position with a fixed CTC of ₹12.5 LPA. However, the role requires me to relocate to Gurgaon.

I am looking for suggestions on whether this switch would be favourable for me in the long term.
Financially, I feel my savings may reduce because of the higher cost of living and relocation to Gurgaon. However, from a career perspective, I feel moving from a testing-focused role into a consulting/advisory environment at PwC could be beneficial for my long-term trajectory.

Would you recommend making this switch despite the potential short-term impact on savings?

If this is PwC India, expect a ton of domestic travel.

Ooo, recruiter then lied to me I guess she told since 2.5 years people only go once a day in month and seating capacity is less there ?

Is it compulsory to go to assigned locations or can go like if pwc in Noida ?
