PwC AC Offer - Need Suggestions

Hello everyone,

I’m a Full Stack Engineer (Node.js + React) with around 3.9 years of experience, currently working at Idexcel Technologies. I joined around 3 months ago and my current compensation is 7 LPA fixed + 1 LPA variable.

I’ve received an offer from PwC AC for an Associate 2 role with a package of 11 LPA, and it feels a bit low for the experience and skill set I bring.

I’m actively targeting top product-based companies and have a solid grasp of DSA and System Design, but I’m currently struggling with shortlisting. Given this context, I’m confused whether accepting PwC AC makes sense as a stepping stone, or if it’s better to stay put and continue pushing for product-based roles.

Seeking suggestions on whether to make this move, and insights from those with PwC AC experience.
