Personally speaking, no growth this early in the career isn't ideal.

I was in Capgemini for 18months and relate to your situation. Towards the end of my stay I was scared of being unemployable and staying behind wrto peers since there wasn't any learning.

Also, since you are saying that there's stagnation, you don't know when you'll be replaced or reduced to a middle manager. This will definitely make your career tough later on for sure, so this comfortable life will be behind you.

So might as well grind early and chill later, assuming you have no obligations as such holding you back.

All the best for whichever path you choose :)

What role are you currently in? Where will you have to shift from to Mumbai?
Is the new offer better for a few reasons?

Will be helpful to know this, have made couple of switches in biz roles so can guide from that experience

Sorry I’m unable to give good advice because of the unknowns here

Mumbai lifestyle typically goes lower because you end up spending a lot more on stay and stuff like that; but it’s a good city otherwise if you have friends there

Your savings may not be as high as other cities, but otherwise 20LPA is quite good

So it rests a lot on what makes this role better. If you like the company more, and the role is similar/better than your current one - it seems like a positive thing to take up?

No learning = not good. Optimise for learning and experience over other things early on.
