Navi Mumbai (Banking) vs. Kolkata (Corporate Strategy & Transition Management)

A. CBD Belapur Navi Mumbai - 25 LPA, Gov. Bank as a client, project is upgrading the bank application to 2.0 B. Park Street Kolkata - 20 LPA, one of the oldest conglomerates in India as a client.

Profile is Project Management

Joined A for a couple of days, then joined B as nothing was moving in A. I like the job in B but feeling uncomfortable with the difference of 5 LPA. I agreed for it initially considering Kolkata has lower expenses, but realising now that's not the case. A is still on and I can join back again. Most of the issues due to which I stopped going have been resolved. But I'll loose out on the amazing experience of setting up and transitioning of a company in B.

Please help me decide whether I leave B & join A again.. 🤔

Whatever role you like, gives you better exit options. And honestly compared to Mumbai kolkata is cheap as hell. So 5lpa diff isn't real huge

I also felt like that before moving in here. Things have changed. Kolkata is no longer a cheap metro city!

I am based out of Mumbai, and have been to Navi Mumbai many times. Can vouch that it’s an amazing city to live, especially if your office is in Navi Mumbai, since you will save up a lot of time on travel.

Mumbai without doubt. Luck surface area is higher.

A.
Not just TC. It's (Navi) Mumbai vs Kolkata. Also, Govt Bank client

If you can ace through bureaucracy at a govt institution, that's another achievement

Obviously, Kolkata still remains a bit cheaper as compared to Mumbai but not like the general perception!

Note : B is not going to match A. Already tried negotiating. Confirmed with A that they are still considering me as I didn't abscond rather mentioned in a detailed email that I'll restart once issues are sorted!
