However, a second user, vikram2077 commented, "Don't. You will ruin your quality of life. You may earn money, but your everyday life will be tough. Bad roads, overcrowded public transport, pollution, small houses, corrupt government offices are just some of the problems,"
Another user, neeravparekh commented, "If you can be a little more specific in terms of where in mumbai would your office location be, people here will be able to make better suggestions. Central mumbai is too large of an area to help with. However, with the limited information, I'd suggest you have a look at Hiranandani Gardens township in Powai,".
