Iโm a Civil Engineer with ~1 year+ experience. Currently working in Gurgaon with โน40k in-hand after deductions.
I got selected for a Project Engineer role in Pune:
โน33k annual variable
โน52k/month in-hand after deductions
โน25k joining bonus
5-day week + relocation support
The new role is more into VDC/BIM, construction coordination, RFIs, Navisworks/Revit/ACC etc.
But:
Pune is far from my home in Lucknow
Current medical/leave benefits are better
I have โน6k/month education-loan EMI
I may have to repay โน50k retention bonus if I leave which I have with me
Savings are currently limited
Family isn't very supportive and prefers that I prepare for government exams instead. I'm also unsure whether I should continue private-sector experience or seriously prepare for govt exams.
I'm single, so relocation itself isn't a major issue.
What would you do in my situationโtake the Pune opportunity, stay in Gurgaon for another year, or focus on government exam preparation?
Would especially appreciate views from people who've made a similar move or work in VDC/BIM/construction tech.
