PwC Mumbai vs KPMG Bengaluru which should my friend choose?
Asking for a friend who has offers in Valuation & Deal Advisory and is confused between the two.
PwC Mumbai: ₹12L fixed + ₹50K joining bonus + 30% variable
KPMG Bengaluru: ₹13L fixed + ₹1.5L joining bonus + 25% variable
From a career and learning perspective, which would be better for valuation/deal advisory? Which firm offers better exposure, learning and long-term growth? Is the additional compensation at KPMG enough to justify moving to Bengaluru?
Location is also a factor. My friend is from MP, and Mumbai is much easier and cheaper to travel to (overnight trains etc.). He also has quite a few friends and some family in Mumbai, which could be useful since he may need some support from them in the next few months. Bengaluru would mostly mean taking flights back home.
Would really appreciate opinions from people working at either firm or in valuation/deal advisory. If you were in this situation, which one would you pick?
